I thought I had posted this somewhere else but the search didn't come up with anything. Here is a recreation of probably one of the most extensive "nose" art jobs to actually have been flown in WWII. This particular example comes from the Pacific:

Here is some more info and pictures. And here is even more info.

 

Eventually I guess the Politically Correct Police applied enough pressure or the operators of "Tail" just got too many complaints at airshows and they re-painted it to:

Here is some info about the change.

It is so cool to see historic items "back-in-business". Keep 'er flying boys!
