This was an era were painting adverts was a normal trade. So by hand . Ask our pirate member Bill N4521U N4521U
I believe . Other more amateur ones could be found so there could be a difference in quility of the painting.
A nice titbid is that seebees in the pto sometimes adopted a plane and had a emblem painted on it. The crew of plane had to agree.
Needless to say that plane and crew got the best from the bees. Important stuff like a shower just for the crew etc. Having handy friends with know how and heavy equipement and tools was handy.

With a brush. There was someone who could do the artwork in most units. Aircrews would pay the artist. Often a maintenance person would be that person and could be backed up with work for months.

I took that much for granted. It's the mechanics of how they did it I marvel at. A B-24 might be easier than a B-17 because of fuselage shape. Still, it had to be a more challenging a canvas than a fighter. Perspective and all that. Would the artist be given special breathing apparatus when illustrating the nose of a Short Stirling?

The one I've never figured out was Richard Bong's P-38 Marge! That's freaking awesome.
 
From what I have read and heard, a man with artistic talent a or sign painter could make money painting art work. He usually began with a photo or Vargas illustration, chalked the layout and painted it. One book said the painter made $20 per panel which was good money before the war.
