These are at a pub I go to. There are a few of them on the walls. They are in Hogan’s sub shop in Gainesville. Some of you have been there and those who haven’t should try it when in town.

Royal Observer Corps training placards. For teaching ROC volunteer spotters which birds were RAF, and which weren't.

This isn’t a thread about wings and beer?

These are aircraft recognition training cards/posters. Thousands were produced during the war. How common they are today though, I cannot say. What I can say though is they’re cool as hell.

I am very interested in World War II but not a big collector so I am not knowledgeable on the rarity of the items. Anyway, they are very cool pieces of home front memorabilia and thanks for sharing. To my untrained eye those look original.

You can still buy playing cards with those images on them. I have a set I played spades with alot growing up and a new set that I leave untouched.
Spades were American planes. Can't remember what were British, Japan, and German.
WWII spotter cards

The military did the same thing for the Naval Fleets of their enemies too.

yes as in they were given to all soldiers on air watch duties to ID planes
as far as being worth anything, i dont know how many survived the war or whats a copy or an original, but im sure they have some collector value

Just so you know OP... I was watching "The Longest Day" yesterday and I saw your posters on the wall.
It was the scene in the Beginning where Eddie Arnold and Robert Mitchum were talking about Ike calling off the Mission. (My apologies to any true wwii buffs that know the Generals names without looking it up)...
Anyways they were talking in a Quonset hut on a raining day and the posters were in hut. It seemed the Generals office and it was the clerks area.
Around 0:12:00 I guess... I am trying to get a photo but can't get one.. Even a DTV recording.. Booo dtv... After I paid for recording it...

Allied memorabilia is fairly easy to come by.

We're coming to Gainesville this fall for the LSU arse-whipping on your Gators.
I'll definitely check it out.
