Hand-painted 'Deuces Wild' nose art, featuring a grinning Joker card fanned with four deuces, adorned aircraft of the 312th Bombardment Group in the Southwest Pacific. Nose art like this let bomber crews personalize their aircraft with humor and superstition, drawing on the gambler's luck of a wild card to accompany them on missions against Japanese forces in New Guinea and the Philippines.
