That is a nice painted doorart. So far I see it, you can see nice details in the dress of the lady (mountains) and all the bombs in her bag. Here was an artist at work. |

Weasel, no I don't have that one and it's a very nice one indeed. Could you do me a fav and email me that image, I seem it get a better image through the email rather that when I copy them off the net. Dutchy I think she has a bag full of 30mm HEI rounds and not bombs. The only thing I can read on her dress in this image is Idado....what does the rest say? email addy... phatom2@aol.com |

Dice Check your E-mail. The Bag she's wearing says: US NO.1 IDAHO POTATOES ?NG PRODUCT TWIN FALLS The bag she's holding says the following: Ammunition 30 MM Shells And the Radiation Hazard Logo. And a little trivia for you (since I was looking for what the sack she is wearing says) WHO, is the girl? Hint: That's not the hair color she's famous for!! |

That is really cool. At first look, I thought that the 4th line on the bag was PRODUCE instead of PRODUCT. Either would make sense I guess. Still can't tell what it says before that though. Might be one of the neatest door arts I've seen. |

Hawg166, it does rock for sure.

Dice you know that my brain works on the same side as yours when it comes to stuff like this; all I can say is there is something about this one in particular. I'm just drawn to it, almost (for lack of a better statement) overwhelmed. I see not only the classic nose art that we would associate with WW II aircraft but also 60's era pop art and I dont know maybe a post modern expression about the multi faceted role of women. You know a real clear \"Ivory Girl\", but one that is hot enough to slap her butt before she leaves on a mission; one that maintanes that look of the girl back home on the farm but also carries the load like Rosie did. I just get this real kick in the pants from this one. I think I need to take it to Dr. Brodsky in the art department next time I am at the school. |

Oh yeah and that face is definetly early Norma Jean. I almost see \"Marilyn Diptych\" by Andy Warhol, just without the sense that the image would fade and blur after repeated exposure. Dude I just love it! FOUR THUMBS UP ! |

Hawg166, I agree it has all the elements of a classic nose/door art and the work itself is just outstanding. I'm going to see if I can contact Bosie PA and get some background on it but, last time I tried to get info from them I never got a responce. |

Dice, I think that's an updated version of nose art that first appeared on a B-24..substitute B24's for Hawg's and you'd have the original. The B24 was assigned to Gowen field back when the base was an AAF training facility. OC |

There's a poster of the original with B24's in the background hanging next to the flightline office at Boise and I asked about it..that's the info that was given to me. I've tried some google searches, haven't had much luck. OC |

OC OC, I also did a little looking around the net and like youself have found nothing. maybe Weasel's friend will show-up and shed some light on the matter. I was wondering, how old would "Norma Jean" have been during WWII? |
