the Texas Longhorn had nose art that looked like a cartoon character from Warner Brothers, it was a P-40E Warhawk from the 49th fighter group flown by John Landers on Port Moresby, New Guinea in Dec 1942

Be it Warner Brothers or Disney, it's cool. I love those P-40's. Already out dated by the wars beginning it still saw great success in the skies over China fighting the Japanese as we know.
