The author has posted many shark toothed aircraft, many I have not seen before, there is even a PT Boat - no hovercraft though.

Quote:
There are many instances of the application of a snarling skull, shark, fish or animal mouth on aircraft of the First World War, but it seems that it was up to the discretion of individual pilots and observers. It was in these early years that it became evident that painting your airplane in such a manner gained the public’s interest when photographed and printed in newspapers. People loved the sense of humour, the aggressive attitude and in the case of skull heads, the nightmarish vision. ..................

We could not possibly showcase even a small fraction of the instances of its use, but if you have a special image you would like to see added to this repository, send it along with a written caption of no less than 20 words, and we will add it to the project. Here now is a tribute the greatest nose art of all time—the shark mouth.
