WWII Aeroplane Pin-up Nose Art
I was just talking to a friend about pin-up art the other day and how it showed up on the front of WWII planes. It was a nice coincidence when I stumbled across this collection of WWII nose art photos and seeing that pinup is one of the most searched for words on Ektopia I thought I would add this post to the results. “Back in World War 2, many creative and talented pilots faced danger with a sexy babe painted on the nose of their aircrafts. Some were wholesome girls next door, while others were naked nymphos ready for action! Reportedly, many of these surviving planes’ artwork has been altered in order to be less offensive when displayed at airshows and the like! BAH!” Enjoy. [via]
