Nose art painted by Cpl Henry Johnson
500th Bomb
Group 882nd Bomb Squadron
Isley Field, Saipan
HOMING DE-VICE B29 42-24785
882nd Bomb
Squadron
This nose art seems to be something of a departure from Henry Johnson's
usual pin-up style. It shows a cartoon figure but we have no clear photo
which reveals its full detail although the "Drowsy Swede" signature is legible.
This B29 was initially designated as "Z-31" but
was later changed to "Z-25". The aircraft was logged as Missing in Action on
23rd January 1945.
