B-24D "The Champ" 42-40060 left side of the nose with crew member in the cockpit
Nicknamed "The Champ" in reference to the Hollywood movie The Champ (1931) with the nose art of a brown boxing glove outlined in yellow with lighting bolts to the front. A scoreboard was painted below the pilot's window with at least nine bomb markings, some with a star above indicating bombing missions flown. At the left is the edge of the nose bird cage with a socket with machine gun.
