Luftwaffe Lockheed F-104G DA 102 ZELL (Zero Length Launch) tests at Edwards AFB in 1963. Given the Starfighter's record in Germany, perhaps it was not the best idea.

P-40’s Shark Teeth Didn’t Originate From The Flying Tigers...Here’s the story....
Tumblr media
The AVG Flying Tigers got the idea after seeing a newspaper picture of a P-40 from the No. 112 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. Fighting in Egypt, Sudan, Greece and Crete, they were one of the first squadrons to fly the P-40 and painted them with the shark mouth because they thought the intake looked perfect for it. That’s why they were nicknamed the “Shark Squadron.” Although the idea was theirs to paint the Warhawk, the graphic was not.....
Tumblr media
The first documented use of the Shark Teeth nose art was by the Zerstörergeschwader 76 group of the Luftwaffe. Formed in 1939, they flew Bf 110Cs and it was them who were first seen painting their noses with the iconic shark teeth logo. They didn’t have the eyes on them as that was added by the RAF, but the shark mouth appears to be their original idea.

Need some wilhelm Johnen appreciation 😔😔🙏🏻idk if people know about him. I haven't seen anyone speak about him. He only had 34 victories and flew many at night as part of the night fighter squadron, which compared to others like hartmann, etc. may seem unimpressive he's still cool, tho 🙏🏻🙏🏻💗
I love less well known luftwaffe pilot's 💗
