DURING WW II, IN 1943, LEW SCHWARTZ [LATER TO BE KNOWN TO US ALL AS A BATMAN ARTIST] DID THIS PAINTING OF BUGS BUNNY FOR VP-1, A NAVAL BOMBARDMENT SQUADRON.

THIS IMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN USED ON THE NOSE OF AIRPLANES, PATCHES FOR THE SQUADRON, LETTERHEAD, ALL SORTS OF USES. NORMALLY THESE WERE DESTROYED WHEN A UNIT MOVED ON. OCCASIONALLY ONE WAS SENT UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, AND THESE FEW, NOW RESIDE IN VARIOUS ARMED FORCES MUSEUMS. OTHER TIMES THE ART WAS SENT HOME.

Lew does not remember doing this, but he did say it is his signiture. He was 17 when he joined the Navy.
