Of Aviation Art, History & Stereotypes.
From aviation pinups - to aircraft nose art - to glamorous flight attendants... Women have contributed far more to aviation.
This probably is the most well known role in civil aviation. Of course we all love them.
Nose art is a decorative painting or design on the fuselage of a military aircraft, usually chalked up on the front fuselage, and is a form of aircraft graffiti.
While begun for practical reasons of identifying friendly units, the practice evolved to express the individuality often constrained by the uniformity of the military, to evoke memories of home and peacetime life, and as a kind of psychological protection against the stresses of war and the probability of death.
