Squadron posters art

Military aviation art can trace its roots back to the dawn of flight, where ingenuity and practicality dictated a way for pilots to identify friend or foe. Nose Art quickly became a popular solution as well as a creative expression for pilots and crew who painted designs on the fuselage of their aircraft. During WWI Military flying units on both sides adopted this custom for the same reason, to help identify specific Squadrons. Not to be confused with official markings or insignia, nose art personalizes a plane for its crew, because it is the crew members who name the plane and create the art, imbuing the plane with an identity of its own.
Squadron Art is the artwork of specific Squadrons or individual members of Squadrons that help depict the units identity, unique attributes or a specific contribution. This can take the form of wall murals, paintings, metal artwork, posters or other artforms. Poster artwork is a modern media print form that allows for an easy lightweight transportable form of art. As for specific Military art, this media form has been used for propaganda in gaining support for a national causes and used extensively in World War I and World War II.
Squadron Posters Artwork is a relatively new expression of printed art that is specific to military aviation units that motivate or represent a units location, aircraft or accomplishments in theater or home base.
