Hi Lightning. I'm sorry to discover that I'm late for your run. Please, if you are intending to do another one, please count on me, as I'm really interested in having a set. Your prop is amazing.
You guys are in luck I ended up with exactly 2 packs left. I'll be in touch via private message.
Either falls through, I'll take the remainder

Your photo is great, too. Is the "National Aeronautics Review" related to the films?

Well, it doesn't appear in the film... but from my point of view it has some good points to be part of Indy's possible readings at his home. In the number there are many references to Chicago. Indy was educated by Abner Ravenwood at its university, it appears in "The mistery of the Blues" ("The adventures of young Indiana Jones"), etc. The magazine shows the bustling aereal activity of the 30s (airshows, competitions, demonstrations, etc.) and I think that it could have been a good place (Chicago) where Indy might have started his interest about the topic. Jock Lindsey, a fellow friend of him (do you remember him alongside with his snake pet Reggie?), was his pilot in many of his adventures (Havana, Tibet, Shanghai, Peru, Aleutian islands, Florida...). This pilot started his career as a stunt pilot performing in US airshows and aerial demonstrations. They could have met in one of them, and obviously I see the need of the adventurer to find a reliable pilot for his adventures. The publishing has all the flavour of the time and incredible images and stories from those early pilots.
Besides, there is an article referring to the antartic expeditions by plane, which reminded me to the "Jastro" expedition in 1929 to Iceland, which appeared in the game "Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis". It just brought back the memory of it and the thought about the risky adventure that it must have been flying in those days.
Finally there is a very nice reference of one of the most iconic planes in the franchise...
And a last and not less important idea: it is also a nice homage to Mr. Harrison Ford, who is a passionate about airplanes and flying. What else can I say? Is it not a good idea? I hope you like it.
I share here some of interesting bits:

Anymore of these available? Thanks!

I've sold out, but, I've since discovered the original maker of the cards and so you can get a real set on ebay. The only downside is shipping from Europe is rather expensive if you are in the states. Look for "Casino 300".
Shorty's Temple of Doom Playing Cards identified.
You might remember a while back when I made reproductions of Shorty's playing cards. Limited Run - Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom Playing Cards At the time I had been unsuccessful at locating the cards, so when I found a set of Mah Jong cards using the back design, I figured they must be...
