Nose Art Painting Of A Military Aircraft
|
The Soviet Air Force also decorated their planes with historical images, mythical beasts, and patriotic slogans.
The attitude of the Finnish Air Force to the nose art varied by unit. Some units disallowed nose art, while others tolerated it. Generally the Finnish air force nose art was humorous or satirical, such as the "horned Stalin" on Maj. Maunula's Curtiss P-36.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force has decorated fighter aircraft with Valkyrie-themed characters under the names Mystic Eagle and Shooting Eagle.
Canadian Forces were reported to have nose art on CH-47D Chinook and CH-146 Griffon helicopters in Afghanistan.
