random mutterings about military history, firearms, preparedness, military technologies, and whatever else I feel like talking about. but not zombies anymore because the hipsters ruined them & now they have jumped the shark.

Aircraft Nose Art
I really love the aircraft nose art of WWII. I think its great because it showed the individuality of the men that flew and maintained these machines, even during a time of anxiety and death. Also, the cool ones were mostly naked women. That's nice too. Anyway, I am guessing that some of you like the Americana/pinup art as much as I do, so I will show you some of my favorites.

I too love the nose art! Good one Mr Kevlar
ReplyDeleteThe "Bikini Red" nose art is from a UH-1 of the 170th Assault Helicopter Company, US Army, circa 1967.
