Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

When U.S. planes jetted into the skies during World War II, the image of a curvaceous, come-hither dame often as not soared with them. These sirens beckoned, yawned, lounged, showed some leg, and pouted seductively from the nose of many of the aircraft. Now, the American Airpower Heritage Museum hosts this site dedicated to celebrating and preserving the flirtatious, fighting girls. It details the restoration efforts surrounding them. It explains how the servicemen who painted the ladies onto the schnozzes of B-17s and B-24s were untrained in the ways of a paintbrush (but clearly practiced observers of the female form). And then it presents an impressive gallery of images. Allow us to introduce "Little Bit 'O' Heaven," "Flamin' Mamie," "Forever Amber," and "Miss Your Lovin'." These ladies may be older than they once were, but they've still got it.
