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 dynamic artwork of a Japanese military motorcycle and sidecar combination racing along at speed, the sidecar gunner firing a light machine gun with the rising sun insignia on the car's body. The back describes Japan's \"iron cavalry\" then in service in China, detailing the motorcycle's siren, searchlight, and sidecar-mounted machine gun, and noting the units were used for scouting, dispatch bearing, and policing where poor roads made motorcycles more practical than scout cars. The reverse also shows an old collector's notation in red pencil, a small trace of the card's long history. A scarcer Iron Cavalry subject covering the Pacific side of the coming conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGraded FAIR 1.5 by SGC, an honest, well-circulated example of an 85+ year old pre-war card showing heavy corner, edge, and surface wear with creasing, while the front artwork still presents well in the holder.
