History of Nose Art:
Although Nose Art originated with Italian & German pilots during WW I, true nose art appeared during WW II. Paintings were done by professional civilian artists as well as highly talented amateur servicemen. Bomber crews which suffered high casualty rates during WWII developed a strong bond with their aircraft & adorned them with nose art believing that brought good luck to their planes. Many pilots and flight crew members adorned their A2 leather flight jackets and B3 leather flight jackets with duplicated copies of their aircraft nose art.
