I know who Star is now. She's one of those conservative women that has sold out her sisterhood. What's worse is she even likes men. It's appalling!

:) Hehe!

I love these threads, for the history and for the pure pleasure of seeing the creativity of our grandfathers.

St. Patrick's Day is two days after my birthday. I'm very familiar with it.

I love these threads, for the history and for the pure pleasure of seeing the creativity of our grandfathers.

This quote from the thread: Although the Army Air Force attempted to ban and censor noseart on several occasions, ultimately, the art would remain. Its value in terms of morale was unquestioned.

I think, to me, that's really interesting. It was also interesting to me to read how the artwork - especially of the pinup gals has changed over the years. A lot of the pinup art was of girls who had the "girl next door" look - IOW, they weren't the fantasy girls, but were girls that the guys really wanted to come home to. That surprised me!

There is some great work on the Liberators at the 376th's home page. Purty Baby is one of the tamer examples...
