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?

They also made playing cards with spotter silhouettes. About 20 years ago I remember reading a comic book in which one of the characters could change into things and had changed into a large pterodactyl sort of thing, and was flying over Tokyo. The Japanese schoolkids were shown with spotter cards and arguing about whether or not it could be Rodan, Gappo, Gyaos, etc....

Y'know, I can sort of read French, and I was able to get the gist of this, but is this regular French syntax? Even Yvan's translation seemed unusually worded. My French is pretty basic, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if this is perfectly normal syntactic structure that I just don't happen to have ever seen before....
