TALISMAN (tal\is men) [Fr. < Ar tilasm, magic figure, one with
th epower to avert evil] Anything thought to have magic power; a
charm.\nThis new collection of nose-art shows in over 650
photographs, many in color, the various "good-luck" figures and
symbols as featured on B-17s, B-24s, B-25s, B-29s, P-40s, P-51s as
well as foreign aircraft in US markings from all theaters of World
War II and Korea. Most of these photographs are published here for
the first time, and express the whims and thoughts of crew members
as they try to represent in nose-art a shield against bad luck -
namely, enemy actions.\nAs in their previous work, WARPAINT, John
and Donna Campbell have culled the most unusual, outrageous, and
prophetic nose-art from their many years of collecting aviation
history in photographs.
