Wonderful! Enjoyed it very much, especially the P-40 with all the nation insignias, might need an extra P-40 . . .

Another kind of mouth was the tiger mouth made famous by the Flying Tigers.

Daniel they were called the Flying Tigers. The design was a sharks mouth. The British use the design on the planes of the desert AF. You can see them in the photos in the link provided by Carl.
