On December 8, 1941, The Walt Disney Company became a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II movies were made for training, movies such as Victory Through Air Power were made to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers.[2] Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt were influenced by the movie.[3]
