Nose Art and Cockpit Detail, P-47 Thunderbolt 'Lieutenant America,' Tennessee Air Show 2014

The nose art 'Lieutenant America' adorns this restored WWII fighter, its stenciled crew names and rescue markings preserving the personal touches that ground and flight crews added to their aircraft. Displayed at a 2014 Tennessee air show, warbirds like this keep the memory of WWII aviators and their ground crews alive. Project: 219310
