Comments |- | '''Clyde Mings''' <br/>11/5/2005 9:04:55 PM | Most of you have noticed that when you rest your cursor on the B-17 at the top of this page that a box drops down and gives the name "Der GrossArschvogel" "You All Right" and the serial number. I flew many missions beside that plane and believe me, The name "You all Right" is a sanitized cop out! The name used was"Der Grossarschvogel" and as we all know, in German that is " The Big Ass Bird!' The leather jackets all had "Der Grossarschvogel" on the back and show the rear view of a shapely blonde cradling a bomb in her arms and she is barefoot up to her scalp!. The big book "Classic Vintage Nose art" by Gary M.Valant IBSN 0-681-22744-3 has an excellent picture on page 74.That book hAS HUNDREDS of nose art and leather jackets pictures and the 401st seems to have almost all of ours shown-worth checking it out<br/> <br/> Clyde Mings Cmsgt USAF (ret) radio op on Madame Queen 613BSq.<br/> |}
