Re: The painting art of US aircraft and censorship?
Not necessarily, some of them were film stars and others taken from pin-ups. As far as I know, the nudes were censored before any photographs were released to the public. Given the public morals of the time - even married couples were seen in separate beds or with one foot remaining on the floor - it would be astonishing to find it otherwise. At times censorship was directly applied to the aircraft, swimsuits appearing where the women were previously unadorned. We can only wonder how many of the clothed women appearing in photos of such art were originally naked.
