These are my grandfather's photos from his amazing and patriotic tours during WW2. I have a huge album full of photos. Was not sure which ones would be of interest so i started by pulling out the nose art plane ones.

B-26 Marauder Bomber- 12th Army Air Force- 42 Bomb Wing Mediterranean
....Modern Design[/URL]

Maybe somebody here has the answer the the following question:
Many of the names chosen by the crews were either heroes from books/movies/comics etc. or the name of the respective source (again: a book, a movie etc.) In the above collection there are photos of "Modern Design":

Was this a name of something popular at that time? Is this an old idiom for something fancy etc.?
I'm asking because some time ago I read the memoirs of a B-25 gunner form the 445thBS/321st BG. (his name is Robert R. Miller) in the MTO and his plane was callled "Modern Design":

Cheers!

Go google zoot suite for the B-26

Go google zoot suite for the B-26

No comprendo!
Tout de suite?
Tooth sweet?
...or else?

 

[Snautzer01]

It is a fashion thing around the 1940's. Google is your friend in this.

 

[Snautzer01]

Now look at the nose art of the B-26

 

[fubar57]

There was a wolf in a 1943 Bugs Bunny cartoon that wore a zoot suit and may have been the basis for that nose art
