B-24J "Petty Gal" 44-40373 right side of the nose with nickname and nose art
The right side of the nose had the nickname "Petty Gal" in white with a red shadow on the lower edge. The nose art was a full moon at night with a nude brunette woman standing near a palm tree on the beach inside a rectangle. The woman represented 1st Petty's wife and 2nd Lt. Petty's girlfriend. The nose art was painted by George Petty who was not related either of the pilots.
