Painted Ladies Modern Military Aircraft Nose Art and Unusual Markings

Tradition plays a large part in modem nose art. As shown in Randy Walkers' new book cartoons and sexy ladies have returned. Names like "Memphis Belle", "Chow Hound" and "Maid in the USA", that once went to war on B-17s and B-24s are now carried by B-52s and FB-111s, as well as many other modern aircraft.Walker, Randy is the author of 'Painted Ladies Modern Military Aircraft Nose Art and Unusual Markings' with ISBN 9780887403927 and ISBN 0887403921.
