This image reflects the unique nose art of one of the B-24’s in the Zodiac Squadron. The original nose art was painted by Phil S. Brinkman while he was assigned to the Army Air Force Station 174 in Sudbury, England. Brinkman joined the Army Air Corps in the summer of 1942. He was assigned to Special Services, when he entered the army, since he was an accomplished commercial artist at the time.  Shortly after he arrived at Davis-Monthan Airbase in Tucson, Arizona, he completed a large mural which attracted attention and was seen by the commander of the 834^th Bomb Squadron, Captain “Jip” Howell, who set up a transfer to bring Brinkman into the 834^th.  The idea of adorning the B-24’s of Capt. Howell’s with unique nose art resulted in the famous “Zodiac Bombers” including “Leo.”  In the spring of 1944, the 486^th Bomb Group, comprised of the 832^nd, 833^rd, 834^th and the 835^th Bomb Squadrons was sent to England.
