In Response To: Re: Nose Art ?? ()

When I first arrived in Nam they would not allow any sort of art on the choppers. The words War Wagon and a hand with middle digit raised had been covered by spray paint. I countered by painting a bullseye on the hell hole. That lasted about three missions mainly because I had painted Du Mami Muc Yai Ho Chi Mihn with it! I was given a letter of reprimand but I would do it again. There had to be some pride and nose art and personalization of aircraft could only enhance our love of the machines we flew daily. Could you imaging a C model with that decor on it screaming in on old Mr. Charles!!! I had a red visor cover for my helmet and they made me paint it OD green. Too much politics in that war! But Hey! Here we are hundreds of thousands strong, being pains in the ass to our kind and loving Uncle. Give em hell Carl.
