>> WWII aircraft silhouette flash cards...
I have a set from 1979. :-)
In high school I worked part-time in a local town library (early '70's :-) ).
The head librarian gave me a 1943 "Restricted" aircraft recognition training
manual with silhouettes and pics. It's paperback and instead of being glued
together is 'bound' by having the pages threaded onto a thin, flat
red/white/blue ribbon.
At a gun show recently I picked up a small kid's/young-adult's book,
Copyright 1941, showing the US fighting planes.
Interestingly, it lists the F4 Corsair as experimental but doesn't list the
P-51 at all. (If I recall the P-51 was a rush job that went from drawing board
to flight test in about 6 months. Most planes we used in the war were either
already flying or in prototype status when we got involved.)
Ed in NC (P-40, P-51 and B-17 were my favorites. :-) )
