I *believe* this is gonna be on a P-38, but correct me if I'm wrong...either way, Shady was doing all right for himself!

"Windy City Kitty" B-24
This photo is about gone, but it's cool nonetheless...looks like a mountain range behind the young lass? I see lots of tarps over the large expanses of glass on these planes...bet it got stupid hot cramped up there for 12-16 hours on end...

Re: WW2 nose art *caution for younger viewers*
Very cool...quite the amount of past missions for that first plane! .
I've read a bit on 'nose art' before and although very risqu'e especially for the times, considering the lads were putting their lives on the line...literally, the word from the upper command was just let it happen. . After the war when the planes were sent to the breakers yards, a very few far-sighted individuals saved some of the nose sections w/ the artwork intact...there's a few chunks on display around the world and I know a few Canadian ones were saved and sent back here from England. . Keep 'em coming Rob...great stuff! . To those brave souls who flew these great machines and offered their lives for the freedom we all enjoy today  !!! . ~ Pete

"Frank Buck" , B-17
Another "ta ta" warning, as we've got some "indiginous personel" as the military called them...I only heard my grandfather call them "fuzzy wuzzies". As I said before, not a bit politically correct!

Re: WW2 nose art *caution for younger viewers*
Here's my grandfather, in the nose of B-25...you can see parts of a falcon's head, denoting that the plane is from the 498th bs...
