For close to a century, it has been possible to find a prize in every box of Cracker Jack. Billions of these prizes have been given away in the U.S and Canada, where Cracker Jack was produced by the Walter M. Lowney Co. Ltd of Montréal. Among these prizes were a series of cards depicting aicraft flown by Allied countries during the Second World War. As was to be expected, most aircrafts depicted are either British or American. However, there are some French and Soviet aircrafts. Twenty or so aicrafts on the cards can be seen on display of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum or in the storage wing. As popular as Cracker Jack was in the U.S and Canada, these prizes became collectibles. Walter M. Lowney's Canadian branch went into business in the late 1890's and a factory was built in Montréal in 1905. The company is currently owned by Hershey Canada Inc. Pour environ un siècle, il a été possible de trouver un prix dans chaque boîte de produit Cracker Jack. Au-dessus d'un milliard de prix a été donnés aux États-Unis et au Canada, ou les produits Cracker Jacks étaient fabriqués par Walter M. Lowny Co. Ltd à Montréal. Parmi ces prix, ont pouvaient gagner des cartes d'aviations qui représentent des aéronefs qui ont opéré pour les forces alliés lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Comme prévu, la plupart des aéronefs représentés avec les cartes sont britanniques ou américaines. Cependant, on retrouve aussi des aéronefs français et soviétiques. Environ une vingtaine des aéronefs sur les cartes sont en présentation au Musée de l'Aviation et de l'Espace du Canada ou dans son hangar. Étant donné que Cracker Jack était très populaire aux États-Unis et au Canada, ces prix sont devenus des objets de collections. La branche Walter M. Lowney's a été lancé vers la fin des années 1890s et l'usine de Montréal a été bâti en 1905. La compagnie appartient présentement à Hershey Canada Inc.
