nose art

sure some of you have heard this. aviators painted art on the nose of their aircraft. Americans usually painted naked women. some very explicit. I heard some important woman from Washington visited the air base’s in England and was appalled at what she saw. and ordered it all removed before returning to the US. at least that’s the story I heard. nose art was a moral booster. and the flyers resented the order. here’s some vintage nose art. fell free to add your own. nose art is still used today. although toned down from their fathers/grandfathers aircraft because of more media exposure.
