subject:  Nose Art you may be able to use.

Nose art that nobody may remember. Was during Combat Sent II, Was the front end and back end crew in one picture, the other is the aircraft. Tail number ended in 4849, was in July 1974 at Mildenhall. I was the Nav 1, and the picture on the nose is of Me as a Clown with the Okinawa Shrine club back in 1968 To 1972. Was painted by one of the back end people, and upon returning to Offutt was UNCEREMONIOUSLY washed off by the Pilot and Copilot, they didn't get me.
