tanker jacket art
hi!
i have one question.
in the ww2 the painting or writing on the back of the jackets was accepted from USARMY or not?
in the WEB i found photos of B3 painted or other air force pilot jacket but nothing on tanker jacket, m41 etc...
if i would paint bugbunny on the back of my tanker jacket is correct or wrong idea?
I would use this in Italy on a tank
thanks in advanced
bye

Re: tanker jacket art
A lot of troops started doing that before D-Day. It was not authorized by the military. (Damage to government property) But considering what they were headed into, many officers just looked the other way. I am reading a book by 29th Division soldier that landed at Normandy and he quotes the same thing.

Re: tanker jacket art
Here's a Tankers Jacket that has been painted by a Dutch artist Anneke Helleman, who does mainly leather jackets. You can find her Facebook page here:

Re: tanker jacket art
Here there are some of my hand painted tanker jacket
Obviously I made these drawings only on repro jackets
I'm not an artist but just a beginner in this world...
Enjoy

Me, neither and I could easily do decent work on the back of a jacket.Navarre wrote:Very nice "nose art" ..I wouldn´t paint it on my jacket but I like it.
This is like putting 'nose art' on your MB/GPW in that it did happen during WW2 but in extremely small numbers, so small as to not seriously consider it (unless you were trying to re-create a real one actually painted in WW2).
