Nice photo, well made considering the lighting problem of a glossy surface. When I saw the title, I for some reason came to think of art painted on as human nose. :) Keep up the good work! I'm not posting much since I don't have much time - often get home at 7:00 PM or later. :-)

can you imagine that the original name "tomcat" was rejected as it was considered too suggestive, at the time? excellent shot

I love the sort of cute "Bad Kitty" thing on such a mean-looking plane! It's hard to believe they thought landing a plane that size on an aircraft carrier was going to be a good idea. Yikes! Excellent capture of this fun nose art.

Excellent clarity and contrast in this shot of the feline nose art, quite a departure from the usual scantilly clad females we often see on military aircraft, Bill. Oh, and thanks for the link to the noseart ladies website and the Doolittle B-25 video. I have some shots of "Photo Fanny" on the side of a B-25, taken at the Chino Air Museum, Chino, CA, and posted in my gallery sometime back in 2009.
