This close view of a Boeing B-50 Superfortress shows the personalized nose art and crew markings common to USAF bombers of the early Cold War era, continuing a tradition begun during the Second World War. Parked on a maintenance ramp with ground support equipment and an engine-access stand nearby, the aircraft illustrates both the individuality bomber crews brought to their assigned planes and the routine servicing required to keep Strategic Air Command aircraft mission-ready.
