P00179.002 Accession Number: P00179.002

Description

Philippines, circa 1944-1945. Nose art applied to the right forward fuselage of a US Army Air Force (USAAF) B-24 Liberator 'MALE CALL, 100 MISSIONS', which depicts a reclining female figure wearing a zebra printed gown and with her breasts exposed, superimposed over a circular background. Above this is an extensive log of missions accomplished by this aircraft along with various icons including a pair of downward facing aircraft icons likely indicating enemy aircraft shot down.

This particular Liberator is likely to have served with the 5th Air Force as another Liberator with the same nose art name, but with different iconography, was famously flown in the European theatre of war by the famed Hollywood actor James 'Jimmy' Stewart.
