From the remarkable Hollywood Animation Archive comes a classic Life magazine article on Walt Disney's war work—which included a contract job for Canada's John Grierson and the NFB. Apparently Walt was hired to make a promotional/instructional cartoon about the Boys rifle, an anti-tank weapon that enjoyed a poor reputation among the troops for the highly inconvenient reason that it wasn't much good against German armour.

I thought "Ensign Gay" was an upcoming George Clooney anti-war flick.

And that's without getting into the disturbing implication of Walt Disney writing about 'magazine stripping'.
