Nose art - there is no definition for it in any Webster’s Dictionary. But just ask any air or ground crewmen from any war since the Second World War and they’ll tell you not only what it is, but what it meant to them. It was a way of personalizing a piece of machinery that you had to depend on and it appeared on almost everything that was used in combat, from aircraft to tanks. Most of the really beautiful and/or outrageous art appeared on aircraft.

NOSE ART - If Webster had defined the term he probably would have noted that it was the personalization of some type of machine, usually an aircraft, with a name and/or painting that reflected the present “owners” feelings toward that machine, his reason for using that machine, or his present emotions. Thus NOSE ART could express everything from love to hate to patriotism to quirks that only his machine had at the time. The actual “art” would range from paintings of gorgeous women to cartoon characters to just a simple name.
