'Cuz the guys were inside the airplanes!!! Okay, here's one I've been finding in my searches. Major J.T. Robbins named his P-38 Lightning after himself and his fiancee, Ina. I read that in a book about aerial combat in WWII that spanned...well...the World!! The book did not, however, explain the origin of the figure on the nose.
This is JT in front of the fourth Lightning to carry the name Jandina.

Hey Jinxie and SR, Sarge was asking me to look for the nose art featuring the following image, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It's called "The Death Dealer." Any thoughts??
