Thomas O. Pierce Nose Art Gallery
The Short Snorter Project
Thomas O. Pierce flew 59 combat missions in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Greece during World War 2 as pilot of a B-25
Mitchell bomber. He had a hobby of photographing nose art and these rare, never before published photographs posted
here were made available by his son-in-law, Bob Chadwell. Thanks Bob!
