ATTENTION:
Does somebody maybe have a bigger photo of this plane where all the faces from nose art are clearly visible???
(Doesn't matter color or black/white)

Wow, Great!
Thanks Kevin!
Much better then those pics I found on the 380th BG web site.
But if you (or someone else) have some even more close-up pics of nose art, please post it here.

Bail-Out Belle was originally a camouflaged airplane and they very carefully stripped the paint around the nose art on both sides. I wonder how much avgas it took to strip an entire four engined bomber?

My girlfriend was raised in Japan and tells me it says, "Please Look." Doesn't make much sense, but that's what it says.

In regards to the Collings Foundation, or any other museum, organization or private individual that owns a warbird. Let them paint it how they choose.
You don't own it.
With out the millions of dollars donated to keep these aircraft flying, most warbirds wouldn't even be around.
Get off your high horses and just enjoy the pictures and the fact that many priceless aircraft still fly.
I'll try to get off my high horse now. Could be a long way down.

A few of my fav's.
I'm building a model of this one now. The first "80 Days" was a B-24D and when deploying to theater they ran into problems and it ended up taking them 80 days to get where they were going.
