EDITORS COMMENTS
War Planes: A New Card Game for Teaching Jim Crows How to Tell a Friend from an Enemy During the tumultuous days of World War II, children on the home front were not exempt from the excitement and anxiety of the times. As the world around them was engulfed in conflict, they too sought ways to contribute and learn about the war effort. Enter War Planes, an innovative card game designed to teach young minds the importance of identifying friend from foe in the skies above. In this image from the Illustrated London News, published on September 16, 1942, we find a peek into the gameplay of War Planes. The card in focus showcases the Boulton Paul Defiant, a formidable aircraft of the time, used extensively by the Royal Air Force during the war. The Boulton Paul Defiant, a two-seater night fighter, was a unique design for its era, with its observer and gunner seated in a fully glazed turret positioned above and behind the pilot. This arrangement allowed for a 360-degree field of view, making it an effective weapon against enemy bombers. War Planes was more than just a simple game; it was an essential tool for fostering an appreciation for the aviation industry and the crucial role it played during wartime. The game not only helped children learn about various aircraft but also boosted morale and provided a much-needed distraction from the harsh realities of the war. As we gaze upon this vintage card, we are transported back in time, allowing us to relive a moment of history where children's imaginations soared high, fueled by the thrill of identifying friend from foe in the vast expanse of the war-torn skies.
