i meant to post this one way back, around july 4th...

in july 1942, there was a "patriotic conspiracy" to put the american flag on magazine covers across the country.

the site is an online version of the smithsonian's national museum of american history's exhibit "july 1942: united we stand." the concept resulted in at least 500 magazines with the american flag on the cover, to celebrate our independance and nationwide unity during world war two. some of the site's features are a covers gallery, detailed information about the covers and the idea to have the cover campaign.
