Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards - Chinese People's Liberation Army Edition

Following the success of our original Aircraft Recognition Playing Cards, this Chinese People's Liberation Army Edition of modern standard-sized playing cards inspired by historical aircraft "spotters" cards depicts in-service aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.  These cards are printed in the United States by Shuffled Ink on their premium card stock.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army edition of 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 Chinese armed forces (as of 2026), including the Air Force, Navy, and Ground Force. This deck of cards is a great gift for the 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, which in times of need can be converted to light attack 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.
