Nose Art on Restored WWII Warbirds

The inscription of art work on military planes dates to World War I, when paintings usually depicted an extravagant company or unit insignia.
Nose art was a morale booster, and those in daily combat needed that boost. Facing the prospect of death on every flight, the crew deserved all of the encouragement, and smiles, available to them.
The art on the plane unified the crew, and identified it, and made it unique from all of the aircraft in their unit or on their base. The artwork continued in World War II.
Today, nose art continues to be painted on restored warbirds. This video highlights some of the nose art painted on popular WWII warbirds.
