GIRL NEXT DOOR
The "girl next door" look was always popular, even if, well... she wasn't
quite the girl who lived next door. Pin-up artists of the day always tried
to capture that innocent look, even if the clothes and pose were anything
but. It was no mystery why these artworks ended up in dozens of variations
on so many airplanes. It reminded the airmen of home and of better times.
And in a day when death could be just hours away, it gave them something else
to think about. .
