I can't believe that they would even contemplate removing such images!
Glad to see that good sense has prevailed in this crazy world we live in.


edit: whilst we're being o/t there's some great up close and personal pics of a B17 Aluminium Overcast (complete with pin-up!) here:

I sent an email thanking Col. Barlow at the 88th Air Base Wing for her role in preserving history. Perhaps others will do the same to show support?

The public affairs office will, I hope, pass msgs along to her.

I remember before they painted Over the "Breasts" on the Strawberry Bitch B-24 at the Air force museum, the Women Libbers got upset that it was degrading..
So in the late 60's this was repainted to be more acceptable..
Bummer!!
