French at the top, British and American in
the middle, a Soviet at the bottom, there is at least one other set with
another four, and a larger card with five or seven (?) airliners. That's it -
Italian, carded rack-toy, 1950's or early 1960's, polystyrene, war-planes with paper sticker, national roundels.
It struck me that the French put large
targets on their 'planes so any old baddie can have a pop at 'putting a cap in
their ass', we put small ones on ours, so only worthily accurate enemies need
apply!

When it came to being really good sports you have to hand it to the Royal Flying Corps. If you see photos of the early 'pusher' aircraft such as the FE2 the roundel was in fact a target positioned exactly where the two man crew sat.
It was later in the war when they realised the German flyers could shoot accurately that the roundel was moved to the fusalage sides behind the crew.
HeeHee! While the Soviets are daring and the Americans determined to be hit by someone!
