So, it's not what you thought, eh?. Sorry to disappoint, but with all the discussions on this subject today, I couldn't help the teaser. Besides, I wasn't lying now, was I?...
These two BEAUTIES are B-24J and B-25J World War II bombers respectively, on display at nearby Leesburg Airport today and tomorrow. When I read about them in the morning paper, I knew I had to get over there to see them and take some shots...
The "beauties on the beauties" are examples of the renoun WWII bomber nose artwork. As you can see, some of this stuff was notoriously riske, it's double meaning even more shocking considering the time when it was originally created.
What's funny, especially in light of the Janet Jackson banter today, is that NONE of the many children I saw frolicking about these aircraft seemed to take any notice of the naked women. Rather, they were much more intent on climbing around inside and manning the machine guns...
Both shots taken with Canon 10D, EF 17-40 zoom, ISO 400, 1/250 f/11, RAW mode
BTW, these are both basically snapshots taken to show the nose artwork. I have some better pics I'll try to post later...
