Nose Art "Slightly Dangerous" on B-25 Mitchell Fuselage, 345th Bombardment Group, WWII Pacific Theater
Nose art titled 'Slightly Dangerous' adorns the fuselage of a B-25 Mitchell bomber, a hand-painted pin-up design typical of the personalized artwork airmen commissioned on their aircraft during World War II. Such nose art served as both squadron identity and morale, a widespread practice among Pacific-based bomber crews including those of the 345th Bombardment Group flying from Ie Shima in 1945.
