Newspaper map as informational propaganda As the tide of the war turns, the American home front receives increasingly enthusiastic maps. Charles Owens contributes maps on a weekly basis to American newspapers. His maps exhibit a style reminiscent of Hollywood movies and comic books. They feature a unique perspective with the earth depicted in a convex manner, providing a satellite-like view ahead of its time. The maps also include German air landings and attacks on transport ships, and bombings are illustrated with white clouds for dramatic effect.
