US Air Force Pin Up Bomber Nose Art Heads Tails Good Luck Challenge Coin

Description

Aircraft “Nose Art" conceived during World War I by aviators who pioneered the application of personalized markings, insignia, and garish paint schemes for their combat aircraft. The practice became among American aviators during World War II, in what became known as the golden age of nose art. In the golden era of America's pin-up culture, leggy ladies photographed in magazines made motivational cameos on deployed bombers. Some of the images were notoriously bawdy — work that would never fly in today's Air Force. The further the theater was from the home front, the more elaborate and risqué the nose art was. This beautifully artisan crafted US Air Force Pin Up Bomber Nose Art Challenge Coin makes a great gift for the man who has everything!
