The nose-art
became especially
popular during World War
2.
It was first painted on the
planes, but soon the pilots
took the individual nose-art
they had on each of
their planes and
transferred it also to their
jackets (mainly A-2 jackets).
Nose-art was a way for the
fighter pilots to show some of
their own personality,
and also helped support their
pride.
The nose-art was inspired by
the pilots
wife/girlfriend, cartoons,
pin-ups
of that time, etc. We have
captured two different types
of nose-art on our
A-2 jackets, making them
real eyecatchers or attention
getters.
