Overview
During 1935, The Imperial Tobacco Co. (Of Great Britain & Ireland), Ltd. issued a 25-card set of Famous British Airmen & Airwomen
tobacco insert trading cards that were issued with Lambert & Butler’s Cigarettes. The cards measure 36.15 × 68.16 mm and are assigned the World Tobacco Issues Index № L8-46.
During the 1930s, also known as the Golden Age of Flight, new aircraft, new aviation records, and new famous pilots, were taking place almost daily on both sides of the pond. This particular set is a snapshot in time, celebrating the achievements of noteworthy British Airmen and Airwomen. Both the fronts and the backs of the cards are presented in a portrait format.
The fronts of the cards feature black-and-white line drawings of a famous British aviator. The front-top of the cards contain the brand caption Lambert & Butler’s Cigarettes, from which this particular set was packaged with. The card’s front-bottom notes the name of the individual famous British aviator. The card backs feature biographical and brand data.
The set has nice eye appeal and is particularly helpful as a historical starting point for those individuals interested in British aviation history of the mid-1930s.
