A challenging nose art

[Micdrow]

Found this in a flying past special magazine. Really thought it was cool as I hadent seen it before. Looks like a real challange for any one considering trying it. Edward Egan source.

Now that is funny. Looks like all the major Sunday comic strip characters of the day. I can identify at least half of them. Nice find.

That's could be a fun one but I hate Aluminum finish on planes.... ;lol:

Nice one Paul. I've only ever seen a B&W pic of that nose art before. It sure would be a goo0d one to do. I think that B24 is 15th Air Force?

My God, the Sistine Chapel of B-24s
I bet the artist was hoping to hell they didn't get to need a replacement aircraft...

If it survived the war, I wonder what happened to the nose art? Be a shame if it was scrapped.

That would make a great model!

 

[Wayne Little]

Agree with you there Alex!

So who's going to take up the challenge????.......

 

[Micdrow]

Thanks guys!!! This may be the next one I research and see what I can find. That way if some one wants to do it at least there will be some data on it.

Yeah! Come on lads, suck up, grab your hairy b*lls and get this bird done!

Well I found another picture and also beleive that it was scrapped. Both aircraft flew in the same squadron the 64th Bomb squadron and are beleived to have been painted by the same artist. Source of bottom picture. The Original Dragon and His Tail

 

[Micdrow]

Artist of both aircraft was S/Sgt. Sarkis E. Bartigan

Alright. It's decided that someone needs to do this aircraft.
