Squadron / Signal Publication – Planes, Names & Dames Vol. II 1946-1960 (SC)

The art of decorating the front section of military aircraft goes back to the First World War.  It was a way of personalizing a piece of machinery that one depended on every day.  The theme went from patriotism to the latest trend in music to sex (girls), and this sort of art appeared on every type of aircraft.   This title covers military aircraft nose art of the post war period including the Korean War and  the late 50s.  Extensively covers the wide variety of personal and mission markings carried by the F-80, F-84, F-86, B-29, F- 51s and other planes in Korea.  Illustrated with 239 b/w and 47 color photos, 64 pages.
