I don't know if this is known, but was singular to find it on a boys toy
flyer...

"radio flyer goes to war..

...but suddendly in late 1941, Radio Flyer's workers went off to war.
Steel, the company's basic raw material, was rationed by the government.
the company contributed to the war effort by manufacturing one of the most
familiar pieces of military equipment - "The Blitz Can". These five gallon
fuel cans were mounted on the backs of jeeps...
