Re: All American Nose Art - PG-13
Compare the curvature of the top of the airplane to the pic above it and you will see they are close to exactly the same. Doesn't that makes it a B-17 not a Halifax? What are you guys looking at?

If it is a B17 where is the astro-dome and cheek windows (the ones with 50 cals in). Still Bomber command scheme which would make it a British B17 (i.e. not American!!). Note the B17F nose on the picture below:
 Also note the aerial on the bottom of 'Vicky's' nose compared to the picture below:

Re: All American Nose Art - PG-13
I came across these three while doing some research for another post. They were taken in November of 1945 by a crewman on the USS Slater.

I had a great-uncle who flew b-17's during the war. The name of his bird was PIZDOF.
