I knew a guy that had a photo album filled with photos of nose art on a lot of the bombers...photos that he took. The album also contained a safety pin from a bomb from each of his forty-some missions. He enlisted at 17.

Am leafing through some of my father's old photos of the B-29s belonging to the 444th Bomb Group, with names like "Arson, Inc.," "Victory Girl," etc. - with nose art to match.

Wouldn't be allowed in today's Air Force.

My favorite: "Big, Ain't It?"
