Nose Art Bans
The British MoD banned the use of pin-up women in nose art on Royal Air Force aircraft in 2007, as commanders decided the images (many containing naked women), were inappropriate and potentially offensive to female personnel, although there were no documented complaints.
In 1993 the United States Air Force Air Mobility Command ordered that all nose art should be gender-neutral.
