Oh boy, this'll get me goin'...
'The Dragon' was from WWII, the ship flew with the 64th Bomb Sqn, 43rd BG.
As to faves, it's really impossible to pick one. I'm a total cheesecake nut and I love most every piece of nose art I've seen, although I can say that I hate stuff that's badly done...
If I
HAD to pick though, I'd go with
'Cocktail Hour', a B-24 from the same unit as 'The Dragon'.
As to types of aircraft, the B-24 is pretty hard to beat for canvas size and carried alotta quality artwork in it's day, although there were alotta B-29's with some real good work as well. Hell, they all had good art on 'em...
Someday I plan on building a website dedicated to nothing but nose art.
As well as one on P-40's and one on...
Fade to Black...
