All Air Drops are .125-.25" thick acrylic trading cards with a removed or cut piece of aircraft encapsulated within the card.
This SOLO Air Drop was cut from a wing removed from AD-5 Skyraider 133911. Most are white. Some feature red or blue elements of the Roundel on the underside of the wing.
Designed during World War II to meet U.S. Navy requirements for a carrier-based, long-range dive/torpedo bomber, the Douglas Skyraider was a piston-engine attack aircraft that entered service in the mid-1940s. Nicknamed "Spad" after the French World War I fighter, it became the backbone of the Navy's strike operations during the Korean War, with the first ADs launching from Valley Forge on July 3, 1950. The airframe also saw action in Vietnam in the mid 1960s. Its impressive weapons load and 10-hour flight range far surpassed contemporary jets at the time, allowing it to remain in frontline service well into the early 1980s.
