Love that you mentioned Yankee Lady. Got to fly on it a few months ago, the crew were real nice. It always holds a special place in my heart and it was an experience I'll never forget. Love this new series!
Such a huge (not Big Dick huge lol) fan of these episodes. Totally love the stories behind these beautiful art pieces. Keep them coming please. And thank you for giving us these historic war period gems. Priceless.
Great work as always, TJ!! I have a few suggestions for future nose art stories: Douglas Bader’s Hurricane Mk.1 while in command of 242 Squadron. Neel Kearby’s P-47 Thunderbolt “Fiery Ginger” (one of its .50 cal machine-guns is on display at the Nat’l Museum of the USAF). Charles MacDonald’s P-38 Lightning “Putt Putt Maru.” Jim Howard’s P-51 Mustang “Ding Hao.”
Dotty Mae was restored at Vintage Airframes in Caldwell, ID, USA, and made her first official public appearance at the 2017 Warbird Roundup held at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, ID. I am a volunteer there, and it was a great experience to see her fly. She’s an absolutely beautiful plane, one of the most detailed and meticulous restoration jobs ever! Dotty Mae is at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA, but is up at Caldwell fairly regularly for any updates she may need. Wonderful story!
Excellent presentation what a clever idea and very well presented. I talk about nose Art in my video but that’s another story I wish to say hats to you.
I subscribe to your channel I think you’re a great historian you show a lot of good and a lot of bad but that’s the way war is I love these old airplanes I have every since I was a young man now I am an old man and still love them love your show appreciate it very much every time a Mustang shoots a German fighter down I say blow him up blow him up ha ha lots of laughs but a great show thanks so much for all of your videos they’re all cool I love it👍🏼👍🏼😆😆❤️
My father was a ball turret gunner on a B17G. 8th AF,487bg, 839bs. Base near Lavenham, England. He would have liked to see this video. Liberty Belle passed thru here just before it's tragic fire. She had some great nose art.
A suggested subject for you... "Frigid Midgit" a P-47 flown by Lt. Jack Hallett who is still living in central FL. A flyable 60% P-47 is being built and will be painted to match his aircraft.
There's a B-24J Liberator 'The Dragon and His Tail', but you probably know that. Maybe it would be interesting to make a video about assembly bombers that were painted in very visible "camouflages".
Ironically, the B-24 now flying as Witchcraft was once painted as "Dragon and his Tail". I am having trouble remembering, but I believe it was painted as "All American" before that, but I'm not sure if that might have been Kermit Weeks' B-24 when it was still on the airshow circuit.
Without question the most famous nose art has to be the shark mouth of the AVG Flying Tigers. That motif just worked brilliantly with the P-40. Although the Flying Tigers adopted it from a British squadron in North Africa, they made it easily one of the most recognizable symbols of the war.
I went up in the yankee lady at an air show in Reading ,Pennsylvania . Although it wasn’t that much when I went up. I’m sure it is more than that now. Parts are getting rare and most are custom made.
The B-24 'Southern Comfort III' had at least 51 missions over Europe; I knew her bomb loader when I was young. The nose art wasn't much to behold but with that many missions, there has to be a story somewhere.
As a very young boy I already loved history. I met the father of a friend who served on a B-I7 in the 8th AF. He had a beautiful color book about the 8th that had his bomber “Virgin on the Verge “with a scantily barely dressed young woman on the side. I asked him what that meant? He told me to ask my Dad:)
TJ I hope you see this. It would be cool if you were able to find any info on the actual girls who were painted on the noses and what became of them. Side note I also flew on the witchcraft tribute plane. Once in a lifetime experience.
There is a B-24 in the USAF museum in Dayton,ohio called the Strawberry Bitch. I have always loved this plane, BUt don't know it's history. I'd love to tho. Please include this AC in a future video.
To be detrimentally honest , my Dad’s nose art in the 5th Army Air Corps on P-40’s and P-38’s were Alberto Vargas quality but we’re also illegal throughout the military and not wanting to be court martialed , he made the other pilots swear secrecy on whom did the nose art !!!
I met a wonderful guy who had flown on B-17s with the 8th air force. Twice shot down. The first time he was smuggled out of France by the French Underground. The second time he bailed out too low and hit the trees with quite a bit of speed. He ended up in the hospital that time. One plane was named Naughty but Nice. It had a sexy gal painted on the nose. He said the crew had the picture and name on their flight jackets too. They were ordered not to wear the jackets into town so that they wouldn't offend anyone. I wonder if a picture of the nose art exists?
I knew an RCAF vet that was the sole survivor of a Halifax Bomber crash in France and we found photos of that plane (Corkscrew Charlie) on a Canadian War Memorial website with a whole story about the crew, the plane, and the miracle of him surviving that and then being taken care of and hidden from the germans by the local French villagers. Let's hope the pics you're looking for are out there.
I enjoy this series of Nose art! Do you every find out the artist is who did the painting? My dad was served in WW2 and painted nose art on p-38 and p-51 during the war. He was in 472 fighter squadron.
We don't need the self acclaim as the US, they will certainly never give us the credit we deserve! They won world war 2 despite all the Allies and Montgomery raining them in, we live in their self inflated shadow as does the world. One thing to remember, they didn't win the war of Independence, some intelligent general said that it's not worth the fight. Yet we did burn down the Whitehouse in 1811, cudos! Lol
Hopefully soon! Those aircraft with long resumes can be hard to fit into a series like this because there is so much to talk about! They likely deserve videos all to themselves.
A friend of mine bought this to my attention once. The Americans put naked women on the planes and the Germans put wolf's and vikings and other war like things. 🙃
Americans had some difficulty to understand that nose arts were present in other air forces, not only the US forces. So... you should (at least) mention in your title that this video applies to US aircrafts only...

i love this series!
Excellent Thanks🇺🇸
Keep this series up friend. I've been really enjoying these video's.
What about the BELL she is the most famous B17
For the next Nose Art Stories episode, how about including the most famous B-26 Marauder, "Flak Bait"?
The Dottie Mae story was really cool!
Agreed! Might do a video solely on her.
I haven't had an urge to visit California in over a decade but I'd love to see the Ms. Mae if I ever do get back.
Can you imagine how pissed her first pilot might have been hearing about that crash?😮😮
Love that you mentioned Yankee Lady. Got to fly on it a few months ago, the crew were real nice. It always holds a special place in my heart and it was an experience I'll never forget. Love this new series!
I really enjoy hearing about little known snippets of history and this is what you provide. So cool, thank you for the video, Cheers.
Such a huge (not Big Dick huge lol) fan of these episodes. Totally love the stories behind these beautiful art pieces.
Keep them coming please.
And thank you for giving us these historic war period gems.
Priceless.
130 missions, never turned back, no injured crew? That sure is some witch craft
Agreed!
Absolutely love these, many thanks for the hard work you put in to give us these great video’s. 😁👍
Thanks!

Douglas Bader’s Hurricane Mk.1 while in command of 242 Squadron.

Charles MacDonald’s P-38 Lightning “Putt Putt Maru.”

I’ve seen Yankee Lady in person at the 2012 Jones Beach air show. Very lovely aircraft
Very cool!
Thanks! I really enjoy this series! Keep it up!!
Thank you!
Love to see more videos on re-enacting missions ad that like famous missions to ones that we might probs not know about or has been forgotten
Very good on famous nose art please do the next part of RAF RAAF and RCAF bomber command nose art.

Ye Olde Pub, great story behind that B-17 of the 379th Bomb Group.
My father was a ball turret gunner on a B17G. 8th AF,487bg, 839bs. Base near Lavenham, England. He would have liked to see this video. Liberty Belle passed thru here just before it's tragic fire. She had some great nose art.
Those are some sexy nose art u got.
GREAT WORK ❤️
Thanks!
Your welcome
A suggested subject for you... "Frigid Midgit" a P-47 flown by Lt. Jack Hallett who is still living in central FL. A flyable 60% P-47 is being built and will be painted to match his aircraft.
I'll check it out!
Where in central Florida is this wonderful aircraft?
Love these, they are amazing!!!!!
Thank you!
Shout out to FlyPlatypus who's animated noseart vid was used at the start.
There's a B-24J Liberator 'The Dragon and His Tail', but you probably know that. Maybe it would be interesting to make a video about assembly bombers that were painted in very visible "camouflages".

I've flown on "Yankee Lady" twice at the Reading Air Show.
Imagine if TJ made a book. Great video
Without question the most famous nose art has to be the shark mouth of the AVG Flying Tigers. That motif just worked brilliantly with the P-40. Although the Flying Tigers adopted it from a British squadron in North Africa, they made it easily one of the most recognizable symbols of the war.
And the Brits got it from the Luftwaffe.

I love the story of "Dottie May"... from being wrecked showing off to triumphant return as a show girl.
7:30 when stunting too hard goes wrong lul
HEY T . J . and good afternoon ,
.
Any future. Stories / Nose Art from the
P -- 6 1 BLACK WIDOW ( Patrol ) planes ?
The Mid Atlantic Air Museum (MAAM), in Reading,Pa is restoring a P-61 Black Widow. Not sure how much is left to do on it though.
don't forget the Sally B , she is the only airworthy B-17 left in Europe
As a very young boy I already loved history. I met the father of a friend who served on a B-I7 in the 8th AF. He had a beautiful color book about the 8th that had his bomber “Virgin on the Verge “with a scantily barely dressed young woman on the side. I asked him what that meant? He told me to ask my Dad:)
Do you have any info on the "Scarlet Harlot"?
HEY, I can't wait for #4...
I flew on the Yankee lady in 2006. Beautiful aircraft.
It such a pity that they are not used so much nowdays.
for episode 4 can you add b-17 Wabash cannonball with goofy on it
Very cool!
Thanks!
What about 'flak magnet' a b26 marauder
Can you please look at the P-47 named Passionate Patsy
TJ I hope you see this. It would be cool if you were able to find any info on the actual girls who were painted on the noses and what became of them. Side note I also flew on the witchcraft tribute plane. Once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you for these stories I woke in history today old war planes

Beautiful art work..
Do you think you could bring some raaf plane nose art
I enjoy this series of Nose art! Do you every find out the artist is who did the painting? My dad was served in WW2 and painted nose art on p-38 and p-51 during the war. He was in 472 fighter squadron.
Grate works
Please do a B17G "little Patches"
How about the "Strawberry Bitch" currently residing at the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum?
Need more raf, loads you could choose from!
Working on it!
We don't need the self acclaim as the US, they will certainly never give us the credit we deserve! They won world war 2 despite all the Allies and Montgomery raining them in, we live in their self inflated shadow as does the world.

@@TJ3 I do enjoy your channel tho! 👌
I know they can’t save em all but “sold for scrap” just hurts.
Nice clip, but why only USAF airplanes?
Did they only fought in WW2 ?
Never seen a Thunderbolt with a bomb attached to the fuselage where its drop tank should be.
How about the world famous squakin chicken b-17 g. Thank you!
Dewayne "Ben" Bennett pilot
Miss Fire and her pilot surely didn't misfire
When will we get the old pub.... That B-17 has a very strong story
Hopefully soon! Those aircraft with long resumes can be hard to fit into a series like this because there is so much to talk about! They likely deserve videos all to themselves.
@@TJ3 ok.... I just love the story of the ye old pub seeing that during war there are times when enemies can be friends
Live-ery?
le p-38 avec 1 belle faute d'orthographe ! les vinS, les femmes ........ ;-)
A friend of mine bought this to my attention once.
The Americans put naked women on the planes and the Germans put wolf's and vikings and other war like things. 🙃
👏👏👏❤️🇺🇸
Americans had some difficulty to understand that nose arts were present in other air forces, not only the US forces.
So... you should (at least) mention in your title that this video applies to US aircrafts only...
