Overview
“Air Squadron Insignia” was one of the most popular trading card sets issued during World War II. During World War II the Walt Disney Studios created insignia for various wartime Air Squadrons. A few of these insignia are immortalized on this card set. Each card front features the artwork for two Air Squadron Insignia. A title strip denoting the subject Air Squadrons is located directly beneath the side-by-side (landscaped) insignia artwork. The reverse side of the card, also presented in a landscape format, contains two side-by-side panels that provide descriptive text of the subject Air Squadrons.
There are two known variants of the reverse side of these cards: (1) one set is without a Copyright line, and (2) one set has a © Walt Disney Productions copyright line. To date, only nine basic cards are known to exist in the set. We currently have no information of the packaging scheme (i.e. wrappers, retail display boxes, etc.) for the series. The American Card Catalog reference number for the series is R112-10.
