O1 Bird Dog I do believe. Look at he big wagging tongue. 



Arf! Arf!

Found a wonderful pair!



Of fuel tanks! 

I don't believe those are standard issue footwear.

I've never served in the Polish air force, so I couldn't say. However it's not usual practice in most air forces to roll your suit legs up like that, either.

Found this out on the ol' Facebook. ‎Posted by Mark Padalecki‎ to the USAF Aircraft of the 1950s to 1980s page.

"I know this doesn't fit the time period but just wanted to share these photos of one of our Apaches C/76 Cav Conroe TX"






Shark mouth on an Apache makes ALL the sense.

HA!!!! Thanks to Facebook's algorithms that group like things together on the feed I saw this once I got back to scrolling. .. . .   Thought it would be a whif at first but then I saw a picture of the actual helo. .....

That particular style of sharks mouth certainly suits it. Particularly like the eyes

Rather ...special?

Don't think I've seen that one before ?

[TheChronicOne]

Wow!  Suitably vicious looking.  I'd love to see that in color.

there are very few known examples of Finnish aircraft with 'sharkmouth' type markings ...

Not sure if a period photo has been posted. Here's a photo of a photo:



MT-422 of HLeLv 31 had the teeth for a short time. They were removed before 06 March 1948.

I'm not sure why don't we have "Capeti" in this thread. Here she is - the big shark with 3 sharkettes:

Glorious!

It's Swiss, I've got a decal sheet with it on.  The sheet is for Swiss 109E's, with the sharkmouth 109G as a bonus.

Wow!  Suitably vicious looking.  I'd love to see that in color.

Here's a profile:

I'm going to pick up a set of those transfers and build that bad boy.
