Aircraft Nose Art/Pin Up Girls

Not sure about extent of using girl pin-up's, but Germans used a lot of nose art on their a/c during WWII.
 
I really dig this guy's stuff - old skool, but with a new skool twist. If I had the money, I'd get one on my bike.

Alberto Vargas is the main Esquire pin-up artist from the 40s--he was one of the first masters of the air brush. There is a coffee table book titled Vintage Aircraft Nose Art by Gary Valant that has over 1000 photos of nose art (and jacket art as well.) (Sorry--no scanner at home.)

Here are some great pics of the nose art applied to one of VS-21's jets prior to their decommissioning a few years ago. It's sad to think that such a good looking jet is just sitting out in the desert now...

The Pima Air and Space museum in Tucson, Arizona. Right across the street from Davis Monthan AFB. Great place if you get a chance to see it. Go during the week and you can get a tour of The AMRAG.
