With creative mind Christian Kieffer and his team of 1940s pinup experts, the pinup is back with the essence of a bygone era. Christian is a photographer with a passion for aviation and WWII aircraft. He acquired 12 flying WWII fighter planes and 12 gorgeous models and put them together in a stunning 12x12 inch 2011 calendar.
Christian began traveling to air show events and has become a phenomenon in the aviation community. The work features some of the most exclusive vintage fighter planes on the east coast, including three P-51 Mustangs and other greats like a P-40 Warhawk and a F4U Corsair from the American Airpower Museum on Long Island. They are some of the finest examples, but it is the beautiful pinup girls that have caused quite a stir. It’s not what you think; they are finding that it’s the fact that they bring back a sense of class that seems absent in this media full of sexual imagery. Christian says he’s finding that people are responding in a way he didn’t expect. They love the classy element about it with nothing gratuities or graphic about these portraits and girls that are actually smiling just like the pinups of the 40s. “Maybe it was a happier time and keeping a little to the imagination makes things more sexy”, says Christian. After the success of his images he is now taking his beauties and his frame out to help acknowledge the WWII veterans with photo ops with the girls and stories of their experiences in the war which he posts on the Warbird Pinup Girls website. Christian says he hopes that all will take a moment and thank our greatest generation before they are gone.
