Let us put every a/c that were painted with the Sharkmouth insignia and also try to find out the history of it, when was the first time it was painted on a a/c?
Hello grounded, actually yes I have many books in my home library that have pictures of the P-51 with shark mouths painted on them. It was not as common but yes they do exist. Infact if you look after my post and actually look at the pictures that were posted by other people, you will see a P-51 with shark mouth. I believe thought it is a F-51 during the Korean war though and not WW2. There were more WW2 aircraft then you think painted with them (more than I knew too before this thread) including RAF and Luftwaffe aircraft. I have even seen Isreali P-51's and Bf-109's painted with them. Here is an USAAF P-51B with a shark mouth.
Below it is a DC-3 with a Shark mouth.
