1942 Win The War Victory Plate Block of 4 3c Postage Stamps - MNH, OG - Sc# 905
Issued on July 4, 1942 to bolster support of the war effort. Surprisingly, when the stamp was issued, it received negative criticism. The problem with the design lay in the direction of the eagle's gaze and arrows. Historically, depictions of the American eagle in wartime pictured the eagle facing the same direction his arrows pointed, so that both the eagle and weapons are directed toward their objectives. Some have speculated that President Roosevelt realized this, and deliberately accepted the printed design, so that the weapons point toward the enemy while the eagle looks the other way, toward peace.
