Post subject:  Nose art

I am looking for any information on a B17 named "My Ideal" which flew in the ETO. I am particularly interested in the nose art, if any. I know A/C names and nose art were generally unoffficial and subject to change. Still...

BN 42-97156 (94BG 410 Sqdn) and BN 43-37767QJE (96BG339 Sqdn) both bore the name "My Ideal", but there is no nose art associated with either that I can find.


Any help will be appreciated.

The term BuNo or Bureau Numbers are used for US Naval/Marine aircraft. AAC/Air Force aircraft use S/N (Serial Number).
The webpage I provided is for a guy in the 94th Bomb Group, so I presume it's S/N 42-97156.
