“Squadron Scramble” was an “Authorized Air Youth Game, Approved by the National Aeronautic Association.”  It was published sometime in World War II by Whitman.  American, British, Japanese, and German aircraft were shown from the top, side, and front.  You collected three of a kind; and tried not to get stuck with a “Keep ’em Flying” or “Victory” card.

    Niice! This reminds me of those aircraft spotter cards as well.

    It seems to be a kids’ version of the spotter cards handed out to American GIs, The colors make these handsome, I think.

    I love all the glamourous GI accessories. Especially the (silk) hankies from WWII which have translations in French and German and probably Betty Grable on em too….(I can’t remember exactly)
