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!

Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out and broken, shouting "Holy cr*p, WHAT A RIDE !!"
From Airliners.net comes this description and photo:
15 WHITE The La-5 "White 15", with its shark's mouth, was flown by Hero of the Soviet Union Capt. Georgii Dmitrievich Kostylev, 3.Gv.IAP, VVS-KBF, Leningrad, 1945. Photo taken at the Great Patriotic War Museum, Pobedy Park, Moscow.
