A famous piece of nose art.
It's a shame Tibbets in Enola Gay didn't have an artistic flair.
Cheers

Woolgar, I see on your Post #4 a picture of the D-Day Doll nose art. That is off of a C-53 here where we live, belonging to the local CAF wing and a plane my son fets to fly in regularly. I posted a threat a month or so ago of some photos of the Doll in flight that my son took from the cockpit of a Harvard II. Here is a link to the thread if you or anyone is interested:

Also, on my son's web site, there is a bit of information regarding the D-Day Doll. Although the nose art on her is not original, this plane did fly in the D-Day invasion. Here is the link to the page from my son's web site with info on her, again, in case anyone is interested...

Great thread by the way, love all the colorful nose art!
