Nose Art Films has been set up to help fund a documentary about the pin-ups, cartoons and other images painted on aircraft by servicemen from the United States Eighth Airforce - the "Mighty Eighth" - in World War Two.
Some of the most famous pieces of art included Blondie - painted by the artist and crew chief Don Allen (see photo). Other famous images included Nine-O-Nine, Old Crow and of course Memphis Belle.
As a filmmaker (ex-BBC and The History Channel among others) I am working with 8th Air Force WW2 enthusiasts and historians Michael P. Faley and Mark Copeland to put together a film on thie Nose Art chosen by aircrews who flew from British bases. Can you help with funding this project?

We have already filmed a number of US veterans' stories but plan to return to the USA to interview the remaining crew members before it is too late. The aim is to have a film which keeps their memories alive.
You can keep up to date with how the film is going through our blog.
