Art:
During all wars it was a common practice for young airmen to name their ‘planes after the girls and places they left behind. Others were named after well known songs of the time and many featured pin up girls. It was a way of keeping close to what they had left behind. Now fighting overseas, they adorned their fighters and bombers with such names as Dinahmight, Shoo Shoo Baby, Chopper Popper, Naval Body, Crater Maker, and Vals Avenger. Nose Art Panels now brings those glory days back to life with these reproduction Nose Art Panels. Choose from one of the designs shown in the gallery, or let me create one of yours, either way we know you will be pleased. These Nose Arts Panels are copied from actual aircraft that existed, fighters, bombers and helicopters from WW2 to Vietnam and through to the Gulf War.
They Drew Fire - Combat Artists of World War II
During World War II more than 100 U.S. servicemen and civilians served as 'combat artists'. They depicted the war as they experienced it with their paintbrushes and pens. Their stories have never been told, and for fifty years their artwork, consisting of more than 12,000 pieces has been largely forgotten -- until now.
