Do much nose art looks really good and I’d assume time consuming. Where there instances if that being a service members sole job? There couldn’t have been too many good artists.

"Sergeant D Cameron, the pilot of Handley Page Halifax B Mark II, HR837 'NP-F', of No. 158 Squadron RAF, poses with two of his crew amidst the damage caused when it was hit by a falling bomb from another aircraft while raiding Cologne on the night of 28/29 June 1943. In spite of the severe damage to the fuselage, none of the crew were injured and Cameron managed to fly HR837 back to the Squadron's base at Lisset, Yorkshire. HR837 was repaired and flew a further 11 operations with the Squadron before being turned over to No. 1656 Heavy Conversion Unit".

Actually, as in society in general, there were quite a number of good artists some of who earned useful money painting aircraft, jackets and patches.

Not sure. Have seen the art on a B-10 as well in one of the Maguire references.
Not sure who the taller gentleman in the coat and hat would be... Technical Representative or a peer about to throw a few down at the 'Pub'.

How in the hell could any plane make it through that? But yet they did …Allied anti-aircraft fire at night during a German air raid in Algeria.
Night anti-aircraft fire from an American airfield in Okinawa :
And tracer rounds were typically one of three on the belt. Lead hell, believe it.
