- I don't think your women readers have enough experience to
- make critical comments about the female caricatures painted on
- B-52 bombers (LETTERS, Jan. 2). As an aircraft maintenance
- specialist on B-52s, I have yet to see a half-naked woman on an
- aircraft, or any nose art, that is not in good taste. The
- picture on my plane shows the Statue of Liberty holding a bunch
- of roses in her hand. I do not view this as an "insulting
- caricature of the female gender."

- I'm an ex-Army nurse who served in World War II. The Air
- Force personnel who painted their planes way back then said
- their illustrations brought them luck. The artists of today need
- that too. So please let them continue to paint in good health
- and peace.
