Artist's Description

This art made the aircraft easier to identify, provided the plane with a personality; it became an entity. The art was allowed because it provided a boost in the morale of the crew, and the aircraft and its crew was easily and immediately identified when they returned from a mission safely.
This aircraft is on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum. It was developed in the 1930s for the USAAC (later USAAF) and was touted as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-range bomber that was able to defend itself, and to return home despite extensive battle damage.

Thanks, Douglas. Besides being interesting art, this nose art was an easy way to identify the returning planes and also acted as sort of a morale boost for the airmen. I can see how they would enjoy seeing reminders of their wives and sweethearts back home.

Great capture Cheri-love this!! A snapshot in history and a snapshot to remember as you won't see these pictures on modern aircraft thanks to changing times-which I often question!!!
Cheri Randolph
Hi Mark, Glad that you enjoyed this one. It is located in the Palm Springs Air Museum (where I took the other WWII Plane photos) I have never been to WI, but my aunt just moved there, and I may be visiting in the future.
Mark Winter
I love the old warbird art. Have you ever been up to Oshkosh, WI for the EAA fly-in?
Cheri Randolph
Marcie, thanks for your generous comment. I hadn't thought about how appropriate this image is for that reminder as the date for Memorial Day draws near.

Beautiful shot, Cheri. Poignant that for so many flying warriors, the painted lady on their plane will be the last one they'll ever be with. fv

Terrific -- I like that the grid doesn't take away from the image, but rather adds interest.
