| Not at all! The B-17 crews merely had a sense of humor. The Lancaster crews were cowed into silence by the sheer ugliness of the plane they were flying

| Mustangs did though, actually, didn't all Western Europe theater planes get those ugly black and white go faster stripes?
The Navy and Marines on the other hand had planes that were good enough they didn't need them.
