Description
Maybe "Strawberry..." was the girl next door. Or maybe she sent the pilot a Dear John letter. :-)
One way or the other, she makes a memorable sight on the front of this World War II Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber in the USAF Museum.
Sometime in the near future, I'll see if I've got the photos to show you more of this workhorse of the early 1940s.

Whatever else is going on here, you have to love the styling of the shoes from that era! Nobody's topped that since, imho.

Great find, Bill. Pose is reminiscent of Enoch Bolles' or George Petty's pin-up work.

Great art and I like how you shot this one. Gave the guys a boost, that's for sure.

Very nicely done. I think I met Strawberry's Daughter, if so they were being kind when they named the bird. One of deals like Mother like Daughter. Could have sent either one into the battle without the B-24 and the war would have ended quick. ;-)

Well I am by nature (Unfortunately as I adore them) allergic to strawberries, and after 18 years of a virago wife allergic to Bitches too :)...Great shot tho' bud, the Liberator was a cool looking bomber was she not!

I love the WWII airplane nose art...It had a big influence on hot rod decals and paint in the 1950's...

Great pic ! --------- Actually, with the loss ratio of this type, it would need much more than an euphemism for this "bitch" to keep her men alive P

Stellar shot, considering the lighting environment. The artist was right on with this one, Bill; great knowledge of the gal's bod most apparent. As for the workhorse of WWII, few realize that the bomber was manufactured in greater numbers than the more celebrated and legendary B-17 Flying Fortress. In fact, the B-24 was produced in greater numbers than any other bomber in aviation history.
