A 1942 aircraft recognition training page identifying the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber, produced by the U.S. Naval Training Station in Columbus, Ohio. Silhouette recognition charts like this trained sailors, airmen, and anti-aircraft gunners to instantly distinguish friendly aircraft from enemy planes -- a vital skill that helped prevent friendly-fire incidents throughout World War II.
