I remember, years and years ago, seeing a poster. (bear with me here.)
It was silhouettes of planes, as tho you were looking up at them from the ground. Each type of plane had a different silhouette, and the idea was to be able to recognize what was flying over you.
Obviously this was during WWII and the planes were war planes.
I always thought that was a neat thing........to be able to glance up and know what was flying overhead.
Does anyone else remember one of these?

Please Please don't take this the wrong way but......
I remember my Dad showing them to me as a kid at a Museum (I think it was the Imperial War Museum but I am not sure) and him telling me that him and his mates used to try to learn them all. (He grew up during the war).
Whenever I see one in a book or on TV I have very fond memories of my Dad telling me that story
oh and just found this with a google search:
it covered American, British and German planes apparently
