Pretty cute. That graphic NEVER would have made it onto a WWII plane, though.

I didn't think so either. Most were fairly tame. I shot the picture at the EAA Oshkosh annual meeting and air show.

The airplane was a Vultee Vibrator, something about that seems to go with the theme.

My Dad's B-29 was the "FU-KEMAL TU", rather naughty for that era.

I wish I'd known to ask my dad about his B-25. He was shot down over France and spent 10 months in a POW camp. Hmm, maybe Mom knows.

From what I read somewhere the early nose art was pretty racy. Then higher ups decided it wasn't a good image to send back to the civilian public. Karl

That was priceless. Gotta admire a good sense of humor.
