A friend of mine, I’ve never met, Lady Cincinnatus, has a photo of some “nose art” on her blog, and it got me to thinking:
Sixty to seventy years ago, red blooded American males went off to war. They fought to preserve a way of life. And part of that politically incorrect way of life, was the fact that young men liked to look at pictures of young women! The young men who became warriors went off to battle in machines that sometimes had pictures of scantily clad ladies painted on the fuselage.
One of the ladies who inspired some of that art was Rita Hayworth. Though she died in 1987, she left a lasting impression on her generation, and that generation left a legacy of freedom to us. Here's to you, Ms. Hayworth!
