B-15A FLIGHT JACKET/ Hand Paint

This interesting hand-drawn seal actually existed in history and was actually another form of the Air Transport Command (ATC) seal at that time. We invited painters to perform hand-painted restorations, and each one was painted layer by layer by himself. The original vegetable tanned leather used is soft hand made in Italy.
Feeling, there will be a darker aging effect around the edge.

Nose art can be traced back to Germany during World War I, when aircraft began to be used as weapons on the battlefield. In order to enable friendly forces to accurately distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, pilots from various countries began to paint patterns symbolizing personal identity on their fuselages. By World War II, this tradition was still maintained, and the United States Air Force made this kind of graffiti more common and creative. Young American soldiers painted various graffiti on the aircraft, and most of the aircraft chose patterns of various beauties. These patterns originated from a men's fashion magazine called Esquire in the United States at that time. One of the Peruvian painters named Vargas created many classic girl images at that time, such as Wild Child, Double Gun Cowgirl, and Flying Girl. wait. In addition to the image of beautiful women, the most well-known ones are the shape of the shark mouth of the P40 fighter jet, and the winged tiger of the Flying Tigers. Since most of the patterns were painted on the noses of military aircraft, this form of graffiti also began to be called nose art. The art of machine head later evolved into an expression of personality, or a spiritual sustenance to relieve stress, soothe mental trauma and overcome the fear of death.
