The F277-2 series of Heinz Airplanes is often called the Art Deco version of the F277-1 series due to the more crude pictures of the same subjects. The fronts and backs of the cards have the card number printed twice—on the bottom of the fronts and the top of the backs. In addition to the visual changes, in many instances, but not all, the planes are facing the opposite direction in the F277-2 series from the orientation of the F277-1 series. The F277-2 series is a tougher series to complete than the F277-1 and it also has the production codes on the back in the lower right corner. The codes on most of the F277-2 seem to end in 34 or 35, so it may be that this set predated the F277-1 series.
This lot is for the Modern Aviation album with all the F277-2 cards glued in and in apparent VGEX to NRMT condition. Great set that could easily be soaked out of the album.
