the English actress and showgirl Chrystabel Leighton-Porter was also the model for the main character in the cartoon series Jane. the series was drawn by Norman Pett and ran in the Daily Mirror from 1932-1959. she was especially popular during the Second World War. sometimes scantily clad and sometimes unclad Jane was a little risque for the USA and didn't catch on here. apparently the Brits and the US soldiers in England had no problem with Jane. top two pictures are of course Chrystabel Leighton-Porter. next three of Jane. you wouldn't expect to find this stuff in a vintage tractor magazine. however, that's where i read a bit about Jane and found it interesting. it was an English tractor magazine.
