todayNovember 13, 2015

More than 30 piece of nose art from World War Two combat aircraft are on display at the EAA Airventure museum in Oshkosh.  EAA spokesman Dick Knapinski says the museum was chosen as the first public display location for this rare collection.  The artifacts have been designated by the National Trust for Historical Preservation as an official project of Save America’s Treasures and will be on display at EAA throughout 2016.  Some of the nose art depicts slogans or places, but many of them included drawings of young women in poses from chaste to extremely provocative.  Some of the most risque’ art has been moved to the Eagle Hangar’s “top secret” area,  which also includes a surplus atomic bomb casing from the end of the war.
