Released on the eve of World War II, the 120-card set depicted the era's military hardware across subsets of Airplanes, Ships, Iron Cavalry, Field Artillery, Fortifications, and Miscellaneous World Arms, with each back asking \"Can America Maintain Peace with The World In Arms?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis card features charming artwork of a deep red Fokker D-21 fighter wearing Dutch roundels, banking low over a quintessentially Dutch landscape of windmills, tulip fields, and sailboats. The back praises Holland's aeronautical vitality, describing the Mercury-powered single-seater's 270 mph top speed, heated Plexiglas cockpit, fixed cantilever undercarriage, and array of available cannon and machine gun armaments. The D-21 would fight gallantly against overwhelming odds during the German invasion of May 1940, its pilots downing numerous Luftwaffe aircraft in just five days of combat.
