Nose Art Films was set up to film and produce 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.
Working with 8th Air Force WW2 enthusiasts and historians we have filmed and interviewed USAAF veterans who flew from British bases and had Nose Art on their bomber and fighter aircraft.
Their stories are amazing and in the summer of 2012 we will bring out a film and DVD capturing this history with images and interviews revealing why Nose Art was so important to the pilots and crew who faced deadly dangers every day.
We have just returned from Texas, filming original Nose Art panels at the Commemorative Airpower Museum. (March 2012).
2012 is the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Mighty Eighth in Britain. Help us to honour the memories of those who served by supporting this film in any way you can.
You can keep up to date with how the film is going on Facebook and Twitter and have a sneak preview of some of the pictures and clips we will be using on Pinterest.
