Informationen zum Autor Andretta Schellinger holds a Bachelors in History and Sociology from Pacific University and a Masters in Military and Diplomatic Studies from Hawaii Pacific University. She lives in The Dalles, Oregon. Klappentext Since World War I, nose art has adorned military aircraft around the world. Intended for friendly rather than enemy eyes, these images--with a wide range of artistic expression--are part of the personal and unit histories of pilots and aircrews. As civilian and military attitudes and rationales for war change from one conflict to the next, changes can also be seen in the iconography of nose art. This analysis from a cultural perspective compares nose art in the United States, Great Britain and France from World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
