Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards
Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards
Modern standard sized playing cards inspired by historical aircraft "spotters" cards depicting in-service aircraft of the United States Armed Forces. Printed in the United States by the United States Playing Card Company on their Bicycle Premium Grade card stock.
Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards is a modern interpretation of historical aircraft "spotters" cards used in World War II. Historically, spotters playing cards were developed and distributed to allied forces to help them identify and determine if aircraft flying above were friendly or foe.
This updated interpretation of a spotters deck depicts in-service aircraft from the United States armed forces (as of 2022). This deck of cards is a great gift for aircraft lovers and aviation enthusiasts in your life. All illustrations included in this deck of cards were hand created specially for this deck of cards.
Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards are the result of months of research and illustration. The final deck covers 52 different in-service aircraft and 3 training aircraft. Each card contains a front, side, and bottom illustration along with basic stats, including wingspan, length, speed, and range.
Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards contain useful information and facts about modern day aircraft and are fun to use at airshows and other events, as well as a fun piece of memorabilia. They're also great playing cards as the card symbols in the corners (pips) are a regular size, so solitaire, spoons, or your favorite game of choice isn't compromised by the illustrations on the cards.

I wanted aircraft recognition playing cards that were more modern and these fit the bill perfectly. Wish they came in a box that looked more like the military issue kind but not really a big deal. Heavy weight, quality card stock that should last a long time.
I've been looking for US aircraft recognition silhouettes for a long time - great to find these. I hope they come out with a Russia, EU, China versions. Also warships and armored vehicles.
Updated cards from when I was in active duty…
I’m curious why it doesn’t have the updated aircraft from Russia and China?
I love these cards I like that the suits are divided by aircraft type. Attack, cargo, EW & Recon, Unmanned & Tanker, Aces as Presidential transport. Now I just need different color backs so that I can easily separate the decks after I have shuffled multiple decks together. 😉
Great deck. High quality and modern/relevant aircraft.
