Overview


We believe that this Planes set was issued during the 1960s by Tamar Food Industries, Ltd., and packaged with Judaica Israel Old Chewing Gum. This particular series of Planes cards is the Israeli version of the American Topps R707-2 Planes of the World, Series 2 (Red back cards 61-120) 60 card set. All the cards that we have seen to date use the identical artwork from the Topps R707-2, Series 2 set. The main difference between the two sets is that the Israeli set is written in Hebrew, whereas the Topps set is written in English. The cards are numbered sequentially from 1-60. The card numbers in the Israeli set do not seem to have any correlation with the Topps R707-2 set. The fronts of the cards are unnumbered and contain the aircraft artwork and a title block captioned in Hebrew. The card backs contain the set title (English), card number (English), card title (English), performance data (Hebrew), and a general description of the aircraft written in Hebrew. The measured dimensions of cards are 88 × 62 mm. The front and back of a typical card are shown below.
