Nose Art

Via Jeffery

Image result for cover of life magazine artist painting bomber WWII sprenger  

The artist in the photo directly below above is Marine Randall Sprenger, Sr. He was one of several talented young men who "decorated" fighting aircraft for U.S. airmen/bomber crews during the Second World War. This photo ended up on the cover of Life magazine. The rest are examples of some of the nose art painted by such men.
