Re: Nose Art Artists in the 90th BG

Does anyone know if Betty Cleland was ever depicted in any of the nose art?

Re: Seeking information about my uncle a bombadier

Did some looking around and found this listed under MACR 15983, but wasn't able to find the actual report. Found these 2 pages. I wasn't able to find the BuNo of the B-24.

Re: Nose Art Artists in the 90th BG

Thanks Bob. These are great! I have most of those, but certainly not in color. That's fantastic. I wonder if I have the wrong artist attributed to Buck Benny. Hoffman's Booby Trap, Little Chief and Road to Tokyo all are signed "521" and Buck Benny doesn't appear to have that. It sure looks to be the...
