The first and only Disney film released through United Artists instead of RKO was an adaptation of the book of the same name by Major Alexander P. de Seversky who appears in the live action sequences. Not designed as an "entertainment film", the film was labeled as one of the first "propaganda films". While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers.
