New Nose Art On Sierra Sue II Accredited To Lieutenant Colonel At WWII Reenactment
On Wednesday, in the hot sun of Wisconsin, Kevin Wisniewski put his final touches on the cowling of Sierra Sue II, a Mustang on display in Warbirds. He had already spent a week figuring out how to paint the pinup cowgirl on the side of the aircraft, having only black and white photos from 1942 to go off of. The name, in cursive, and the woman were both painted by hand, not a single stencil or airbrush used.
