Thought I would start a thread of shark mouth painted aircraft. Seems that this type of decoration is very common on aircaft from all wars. If you have a pic, please post!

I'm only posting one pic of a P-40 as that was the most common warplane to sport 'teeth'.

Sources unknown unless noted on the pic.

Looks like the Phantom was as popular as the P-40!

Cool idea, there's gotta be a whole load of 'Planes with pointy teeth out there !. Here's a selection of some of my shots.....mostly Kittyhawks and one or two surprises !
