In the process of researching the background for Bruce Muir, we ran across a lot of really fascinating illustration art relating to WWII. Some of it is Disney art, some is nose art (which Disney also did some of), and a lot of really interesting propaganda posters. The imagery was very patriotic, or whimsical, or inspired by thoughts of home (or any combination thereof). There's a link at the bottom of this page and on our Links page for the source of our Nose Art.

The most prolific and whimsical sector of illustrative art during World War II was nose art. Plane crews painted or had painted on the nose or sides of their planes images that identified their planes, and that related to something they wanted to project. Some were variations on state or patriotic themes, some were girlfriends or about women in general, many were simply defiant. The ground crews would often write slogans or messages right on the bombs, like "this one's for you, Hitler." |
