Airman Posing with Nose Art "Jungle Fever" Aircraft, CBI Theater, WWII
An American airman poses beside the nose art of his aircraft, nicknamed 'Jungle Fever,' at a forward airfield in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Personalized nose art like this boosted crew morale and gave individual aircraft a distinct identity amid the challenging jungle and mountain conditions of the CBI Theater. Project: 218098
