WW2 Photo Army Air Force B26 451st Bomber Squadron Nose Art Mister Period Thrice
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:47758993 |
Up for sale tonight are a group of ORIGINAL Nose Art and base camp photos that I purchased many years back from the daughter of the vet. The vet served as a US Army Air Force crew chief mechanic with the 451st Bomb Squadron, 322nd Bomb Group in England, France and Germany.
What is interesting about the photos is that not only is there nose art but it’s frequently on both sides of the nose. In addition, there are some tail gunner, waist gunner and even mech...anic nose art and you can make out a lot of their names. Also, the planes have lots of bombing missions depicted as well as water landings. Some of the photos have been marked on the back and mention that the B-26 was shot down or disappeared on a mission. I’ve never seen WWII bombers before with such extensive art work and bombing missions depicted.
I will be happy to combine shipping for high bidders who win more than one auction. Please wait until the auctions are completed and I will send you a combined invoice.
To my international buyers, please note that I cannot send the photo via airmail as there is no way to track it. Ebay requires me to send it first class mail at $13.09 so that the photo can be tracked. However, many photos can be sent combined for the $13.09 price. If you purchase more than one photo, please wait until the auctions are completed and I will send you a combined invoice.
For those who are interested, the vet’s name was Otto R. Moesle. He was born in 1921 and died in 1986. He was buried in Arlington Cemetery.
