Aircraft recognition charts

[watervole]

Google has failed me. Can anyone tell me where to find a picture of a wartime aircraft recognition chart. You know, the posters with silhouettes of aircraft so that spotters could identify them as they flew overhead.

I can't see a whole chart but there are some pictures of individual cards. (I suspect in reality spotters may have been more likely to use small booklets than charts - you wouldn't really want to spread out a big wallchart in the middle of a field!).

Try these:

It's really the poster I'm after as I'd like to use it as a basis for a t-shirt design.

It's really bugging me - I know they exist as I remember seeing one somewhere. They were used along the coast where there were fixed observation posts. I don't even know where I know this from...

There is one here:

Ah, that's the beastie. I was wondering if Cath could develop something loosely based on it, using an assortment of silhouettes.

I'll email her the link so she can see it.

Ooh, that could make a great T-shirt. I take it you've seen my similar one (glow-in-the-dark white on black) with bats rather than aircraft?

NO, I don't think I've seen the bat one.

I meant to wear it at Redmption, but now I can't remember whether I did. I'll make sure I wear it to the next thing we're both at instead.

There's one in the background of this photo, http://www.commercemarketplace.com/home/CollectAir/museum4.jpg taken from this page http://www.commercemarketplace.com/home/CollectAir/Museum.html (very image heavy!).
Another similar possibility may be to base it on spaceship silhouettes, but on playing cards, see this search for some examples, http://snipurl.com/1bzjq
This would require fewer ships, say 3 or 4 for the design, and could look quite striking.
