Customer comments on this selection.
 It is just as the title says
This is a book of black-and-white photos of nose art on vintage aircraft, mostly bombers, and mostly from WWII. The cover and about 10 pages are in color. Some of the planes have a bit of historical info, as well.
The nose art ranges from tame to more risque, some of the latter ultimately got censored by the military. Lots of women wearing little or nothing forms the majority of the artwork, and the aircraft names range from bland, such as "Enola Gay" to double-entendres, such as "Sack Time".
It's a pretty interesting collection.
 Made the perfect gift for a history buff.
This book gave great photos of airplane pin-up girls, would recommend for any historic airplane buff.
Loved this book
Great buy...this is the only book I have found that includes Ice Cold Katy in it....very hard nose art to find...buy it, you will love it.
 Nice book
Great pictures here, a pitty that the most of them are in B/W but in general they're great.
This book is very similar to "Aircraft Nose Art: From World War I to Today (Motorbooks Classics) by Jeffrey Ethell" that in fact is better, but the couple would be the perfect buying!
:D
