Heh -- nice one. I almost picked up an old Mauser (Czeck manufacture, 
IIRC) at a show a couple months back, didn't, probably should have tho.

Disney artists did a lot of "nose art" in WWII, and quite a few 
propoganda cartoons (http://sqrville.org/article.php?story=250).

Adolph Galland (Commanding General of Luftwaffe fighters, in addition to 
being one of the highest scoring aces of all time) had a Mickey Mouse 
with pistols on the side of his personal aircraft... unlicensed, of 
course.  :-)
