What is Custom Nose Art ?

The artwork of David White, inspired by military aircrew nose art of World War II, that

can be personalized with your name, organization, event or company logo.

Originating in World War I, nose art was most widely practiced in WWII. Ranging from

cartoons to provocative images of women, these works represented the outspoken

individuality of the crews and gave them a way to express their emotions about their

country or their enemy. Nose art was hardly sanctioned by the military. But the men in

charge allowed their men to show their spirit through their decoration. Nose art still

has a place today in the modern military, but it has never seen the proliferation that it

did in the second world war.

I have always had a passion for aviation, particularly for the World War II era. Inspired

by those historical artworks, I have created this company to offer a unique product. I

base my artwork and designs on traditional designs from the 1930’Äôs and 1940’Äôs to

celebrate veteran flyers of all eras. My original designs and artwork offer you the

opportunity to own a unique and personal nose art illustration of your own. I  have

created standard designs that can be personalized with your name, organization,

event or company logo. If you desire something more unique, I also accept

commissions for one of a kind artwork.

Thank you for your interest,

David White
