Pilots!
Adding nose art or emblems to your plane in the Paint Shop is a great way to decorate them with your own style, but historically speaking, emblems have been more than just cosmetic: they allowed pilots to identify nations, squadrons, and even specific pilots! Now, we're giving our players the opportunity to add a real-life inspired emblem of their choice into World of Warplanes!

Perhaps you want to have the logo of a renowned squad or crew on your fuselage as you fly into battle? Now's your chance to get it into the game, and win some great prizes, too!
