More B-25 WWII Nose Art | B-25 My Buck On the opposite side of this B-25 Mitchell bomber’s nose is painted “Executive Sweet”, its actual name. The “My Buck” nose art was painted as a memorial to Link Piazzo and his late wife Helen, the lovely lady in the painting. My Buck was Link’s nickname for Helen. Built late in the war, Executive Sweet saw stateside service during the remainder of WWII as a crew trainer. Then, in 1948, it became a VIP transport. After several years in military service at the School of Aviation Medicine, it was sold as surplus. It changed hands several times while appearing in films and TV shows. Eventually, it was sold to a private owner who restored it back to a wartime B-25 J model appearance. Finally, it made its way to the American Aeronautical Foundation, who operates it today.
