The pictures show some sample images from this ©1942 "Airplanes Of The U.S.A." Book. The cover is missing from this book. The images on the pages are great and we wish we could show them all. This (62) page book has (60) color aircraft images with blueprints. There is information on all of them. These images are similar to those that were used for old World War II era bubble gum or candy trading cards. The book is by John B. Walker. It was published by The Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin. The following is a long list of the titles and aircraft that are pictured in the book. Perhaps you had flown one of these planes.
