Rita hayworth Pin-up

Bonjour All

am looking for the artist who did this airbrush painting.
It features Rita Hayworth "nose art style" with a B24 in the background.
This painting is used as a CD cover for a WW2 compilation tunes titled "GI Jive"



Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the painter ... I remember it was mentionned in a "Pilot" issue, probably in the early 90's ...

Anyone can help ?

Best Regards

Looks like a Alberto Vargas painting.

I remember seeing some stuff in Pilot about this chap - first name was Philip I think, but I can't recall his surname. He did some interesting artwork featuring the Utterly Butterly (or it might have been Crunchie at the time) Stearment and their upstanding passengers...
