Ju88 - Tactical Poster 110
A cutaway drawing of the Junkers Ju 88 shows crew positions, guns, armour, fuel tanks and bomb load with white callouts, plus side, front and top views. It is an aircraft-recognition and vulnerability diagram marked 'Official use only', not an appeal; the closest fit is card stacking, because the callouts pick out weak points and armament for the attacker and leave out anything else about the aircraft.
