This nose-art is both impressive and descriptive. Its origins lie behind the common belief towards the end of the war that there would be widespread unemployment once the war had ended, hence this detailed art-work.

If you look carefully under the panhandler, you will see that the bomber has been badly dented. This was result of a typhoon which badly damaged Okinawa in August 1945. It destroyed many aircraft, including Bread Line in '49.
