Nose Art Detail, 'Wicked Wabbit' - Restored WWII Fighter on Museum Display
Nose art reading 'Wicked Wabbit' adorns the cowling of this restored World War II-era fighter, seen on static display in a museum hangar. Hand-painted nose art like this was a common practice among WWII aircrews, personalizing aircraft with cartoon mascots, slogans, and unit insignia. This aircraft is part of a preserved warbird collection maintained for public education and historical remembrance. Project: 219293
