The nose art depicting a B-52 throwing an X-15 was first painted on the NB-52B by C. A. May in September 1964

Mi scuso per la qualità piuttosto scadente della foto, e spero sia intonso.

Here's the whole crew of my dad's main plane- B-25J Stella with tail letters 9F. Starting from the left with the front row: Frank Zensen of the ground crew, top turret-gunner/engineer Paul Eller, radio-operator/waist-gunner Quentin Kaiser, tail-gunner George Carter and Leverenz of the ground crew. Standing in the back row are bombardier/navigator Norman Moerbe, pilot George Fitch who was killed on a training mission back in the states and that day's copilot Riddle who eventually became a pilot according to my father. Frank Zensen painted the nose art for Stella. This is the same picture of my dad's 9F "FOX" crew that appears in the 489^th squadron book.

B29 "Worry Bird", Korean War

 

Worry Bird, The [uNK] 92^nd BG: This bird appears to have a lot to worry about. In addition to having its tail shot off, the bird has to use a crutch to get around because of a gimpy foot, suggesting that the aircraft experienced combat damage to the tail section and landing gear. It's also likely that its name was inspired by a 1951 song titled, "The Worry Bird," popular at the time. I'd originally pegged this as a WW II bird. Nolan "Big Red" Strange set me straight by pointing out the letters "CE" in the upper left, noting that the United States Air Force did not come into being until after WW II.
