Comments on: British Ministry of Defence Bans Aircraft Nose Art http://neveryetmelted.com/2007/06/06/british-ministry-of-defence-bans-aircraft-nose-art/ The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. -- D.H.

All the way back in the beginning...the Great War...British pilots were strictly limited on personal decoration and markings. They called the German Jastas "flying circuses" in derision and maybe a little secret envy because there seemed to be no limit on personal markings. The pin-up thing really is a WWII American phenomenon. Too bad, it seemed like there was a resurgence after Persian Gulf I in nose-art. I think the lady pilots should get a chance to decorate their aircraft in the same vane. Beef-cake along with cheesecake...what the hell.

If you ask me, they should be able to decorate their aircraft however they damned well please!!!
