I was wondering if anyone can direct me to some colour profiles of the bombs used by the RAF and USAAF in WW2, as well as photos of grafitti slogans sometimes applied to them. I've got an old rusty RAF 11 1/2 pound training bomb from ww2 that I'd like to sandblast and repaint as a USAAF or RAF example with some sort of slogan on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have to admit to liking the one that showed up in the Peral harbor movie that said, "This is for Betty!" I thought it was sort of cool.

I'm sorry I don't know where, but I've seen "Howdy Hitler" in a few photos of bombs, along with a fakie noseart panel.

Well, since you're a fellow Canuck, perhaps you'd like this one:

Not sure about the RAF stuff, but here is some AAF stuff
