This swimsuit photo made her the number one Pin-Up girl during the Second World War, and later appeared in Life magazine’s issue entitled “100 Photos that Changed the World.” The famed actress, dancer, singer had an insurance policy for her legs totaling $100,000.

A stunning image in its own right, the artwork was complimented by the beautiful red white and dark blue lettering. the perfect combination on its polished aluminum hull.

This particular piece remains one of my favorite panels, not only for the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed painting this iconic image, but because it holds such fond memories of watching the Sentimental Journey fly overhead  as it departed from Falcon Field airport just 2 miles from my old Mesa Arizona home.
