This aluminum airplane, said to have flown, is reminiscent of the WW2-era Flying Tigers of the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) which were flying P-40 Tomahawks in China. The Shark Mouth, based on a painting on Luftwaffes ZG heavy fighter wing on Messerschmitt Bf 110s, was later adopted by Allied fighter squadrons. Allegedly, they saw a picture of other P-40s of the No. 112 Squadron flying for the Royal Air Force and also adopted that logo.
