Detached Service Diary - The Artist: Hendrickson is unimpressed with a GI who makes his contribution by painting pictures on the noses of aircraft. He thinks this is a waste of time. He doesn't think the contribution to morale is real. Then the Mosquito bomber Hendy is flying to transport Churchill to a meeting is hijacked by a Nazi pilot who wants to assassinate Churchill. But when the plane lands, it is met by armed troops because the artist had painted a warning on the plane's side. Hendy reconsiders his opinion of the artist's contribution to the war. (illustrated by Ken Steacy) This story was a tribute to Dan Spiegle, who had painted nose art during the war, and the artist in the story is Ken Steacy's characture of Spiegle.
