# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Blood Chits, Short Snorters, and Nose Art: Robert Bindo Fain in the South Pacific
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join brothers John and Scott Fain for a presentation about their father, Robert Bindo Fain (1923-1991), and his experiences in the South Pacific during World War II. A Mystic native, Fain was drafted into the Army Air Forces and served on board a B-25 bomber. He flew in 57 missions and collected dozens of photographs, military records, and artifacts that tell the story of his experiences as a gunner in the South Pacific theater from 1943 until 1945. Many of these photographs depict “nose art”, decorative painting usually on the fuselage of World War II era
airplanes, depicting women from popular culture. Fain was shot down twice and awarded the Purple Heart. He later worked for the Cottrell Company and as a machinist at Electric Boat.

Due to the graphic nature of the nose art discussed and pictured in this program, discretion is advised. We recommend this program for mature audiences only. You've been warned!
