World War II Airplane Spotter Playing Cards is a facsimile-style deck from U.S. Games Systems inspired by wartime aircraft recognition cards. The deck identifies 52 different aircraft, including Allied and Axis bombers and fighters, with silhouette views designed to help recognize planes by shape.
Each aircraft card shows multiple silhouette angles, including front view, side view, and underside view—the kind of visual information that mattered when spotters needed to identify aircraft quickly. This edition also includes playing card indices and Jokers, so it can be used for most traditional card games as well as collected for its historical subject matter.
