Default German sharks

The most famous nose art of all time were not exclusive of the Allies during the Second World War. I share with you a fantastic collection of images, some rare and colorful, of various models of the Luftwaffe aircraft with the famous and feared painting. To view all photos, visit the link below:

It's amazing how much the Stuka shark-mouths look like the P-40 shark-mouths of the AVG who apparently borrowed them from the Desert Air Force of the British. I wonder who was really first.

Also amazing is how small the Bf-109 and Fw-190 were. Much smaller than most of their US counterparts. It is unbelievable they were able to fit a 2000+ Hp engine in that tiny airframe! Fuel injection was revolutionary at the time.
