"Alberto Vargas (February 9, 1896 - December 30, 1982), is far from a household name, but his art was the most famous of World War II, especially among airmen who loved to paint the noses of their airplanes with vivid, colorful, and often provocative artwork, commonly known as nose art. The Vargas Girl became the object of fancy for many young, lonely airmen who were over-sexed and Over There, as the British like to say. Many Vargas Girls ended up flying missions over Hitler's Europe, firmly ensconced on the nose of a B-17, B-24 or many other bombers and fighters."

Fire Crotch is our rendition of "Wishful Thinking" (shown below) and is not only a tribute to the renowned Pin-up artist, Alberto Vargas but to the pilots who lost their lives fighting.
