If anyone has information on any person who was responsible for designing and/or painting nose art or flight jackets please contact me. I am always seeking to record details of military or civilian personnel who carried out this morale-boosting work in the USA or overseas. Photographs, press cuttings, etc, relating to named planes are always welcome, especially those showing or referring to the artists. |
