I wonder what the Krauts thought of the nose art on our planes? Something tell me their pilots appreciated a good nude.

Someone commented that if you look at German WWII nose art, it was always something dark, like skulls, etc.

He said it was a telling commentary on how the two cultures viewed life - ours celebrated it, theirs celebrated death.
