You're Top Poster: #59  | Has anyone heard of a shark face P40 fighter silver (aluminum) not camouflage, flying tiger? Or was the shark face painted on other similar fighter planes? Last edited by Liz; 25-04-2008 at 04:13 PM. |

You're Top Poster: #21 | Heres a few from my collection....errr, pictures that is !. Mostly taken...OK, all taken (the weather does kinda give the game away !) in the States over the last few years at Oshkosh in 2005 and more recently at the fantastic GOML 2007 last September Whoever first thought up the idea of painting that great big toothy grin for the first time deserves a well earned pat on the back !. That 'plane was just made for the shark mouth paintwork. It would be interesting to find out if there was ever the intention to replace the Alison with a Merlin and what difference, if any, that would have made.

You're Top Poster: #2 | I think 112 Sqn is generally credited with putting the shark's mouth on the P-40 first. I haven't read about the performance of the P-40F over Allison-powered versions but the engineering was a bit different! P-40F engine run - first flight not far away
