The inspiration Joe used for his nose art painting on this B24 was from the Esquire Magazine calendar illustration for November 1942 painted by Alberto Vargas. The original art work was called Beauts and Saddles and ironically was not of an Indian maiden but a cow girl.
Leaving California in December 1944 for the Pacific, it returned to the United States in October, 1945 to Kingman Field Arizona where it was disposed of as surplus and melted down along with thousands of other aircraft that returned from the War.
