I also like it because today it is so politically incorrect. :D

Even then it was consider politically incorrect. Any aircraft in the US during the war was not allowed to have nose art. They only allowed it when the aircraft was in the theater of operation.

Imagine having some of the art on the commercial aircraft of today:hmm:. That would give the papers something to write about.

I wonder if the female combat pilots of the USSR had any nose art :D

I have a few of these framed and hanging in my apartment. They look great and even the female guests get a smile out of them:

I sail to war with Lady Luck as my uboat emblem (ripped from one of the many risque radioroom pinups mods). I never posted it in the show your uboat emblem because it has hooters on display... :hmm:

Can't remember from where I saw it, but there's one of a blackhawke chopper with desert cammo that 'hides' a naked woman on the side of the fuselage.

STEED, it would seem that this thread has used all of your links bandwith? lol

I remember seeing some B-29 Nose art, There had been some problems with aircraft coming back from europe with nose art that has been shown in posts above, as a result they ordered B-29 crews to cover up their girls, or replace it with an alterative.

Nose art was officially not allowed in the 1950s either, which led to a fun picture I'm still trying to find: an F-100 Super Sabre with a picture on the inside of the intake!
