GeneralLucas Posted September 12, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 12, 2012 I have a lot of WW II aircraft nose art and I was sending these pictures to the 95th Bomb Group Association to add to their website and thought I would show them here also. I have had these for some time and they look like stateside photos. What is a Wewa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's Son Posted September 12, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2012 I've never seen this one before. Does Bugs have a mustache ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had these for some time and they look like stateside photos. What is a Wewa? Great photos! I saw the word "wewa" and thought Native American. Looked it up and it means Many Waters. The Many Waters Special? Guess that doesn't make much sense, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle T Posted November 22, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 22, 2016 Mary Ruth was my grandmother. My granddad is the first officer on the left. "Wewa" is short for Wewahitchka, Florida (our home town-the name was thought to mean "water eyes", which makes sense if you look at a map of the area). It is 30 miles away from Tyndall Air Force Base, where my granddad was a flight instructor. I have more pictures if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle T Posted November 22, 2016 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2016 The nose art above is a repaint. The original was a typical "pretty woman" and granddad didn't appreciate the comments from the crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyndallTB Posted October 14, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 14, 2017 Mary Ruth was my grandmother. My granddad is the first officer on the left. "Wewa" is short for Wewahitchka, Florida (our home town-the name was thought to mean "water eyes", which makes sense if you look at a map of the area). It is 30 miles away from Tyndall Air Force Base, where my granddad was a flight instructor. I have more pictures if anyone is interested. Awesome story, saw this pic somebody posted on Facebook and dug a little deeper, Great Story. The town of Wewa should do something with this story. I don't remember, is there a town museum or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
