NOSE ART painting on canvas from GI CLUB WWII ?

[levisandleathers]

This is a 5 x 7 ft canvas with painted nose art ?. Perhaps from a club from some base. Anyone recognize the artist or art style? trying to find out its history. nail holes around the edges meant it was nailed up somewhere.
MARIO J CASTRO is our best guess. Anyone know of a nose art museum?

thanks

Email Gary at this site. He has written many books on nose art.
He's a real nice guy.

I know the seller. He used to have a vintage clothing store in Seattle, but shut it down a few years ago. He has several painted A-2s and lots of G-1s. I'll have to contact him and see what he's got.

I came to your warehouse about 4-5 years ago and looked at all the flight jackets you had in boxes. We've also corresponded via phone, but it's been a couple of years. I used to work at the Museum of Flight and you wanted to sell us flight jackets to sell in the museum store.
