Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, Texas Raiders

McCollum Field, Kennesaw, Georgia

Nose art, a popular practice amongst flying personnel in the Second World War, is part of a long tradition of modifying and personalising weaponry. In addition to official markings or insignia, airmen would often decorate the nose of an aircraft with images to honour fellow crew, family members, and partners.
