The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Hand-painted nose art fills these frames, from B-29 Superfortresses carrying cartoon rabbits and a "Black Cat" talisman to transports honoring the Naval Construction Battalions that built Pacific airfields. P-38 Lightnings on forward airstrips in 1945 and the wreckage of a French fighter from 1940 widen the view across the war.
