The Swastika in the center of the nose cone was meant as a good luck symbol. (This was well before the Nazi party adopted the Swastika as its official emblem).

(Also the wrong orientation to be the Nazi symbol.)

Edit: I admit I may have missed the point of your post. It just occurred to me I don't even know about the OP's cartoon, which I now realize is probably referring to Lucky Lindy himself. Gonna go get my learn on.
