I mean, it got better. Discipline for a lot of things was a lot lower before the '80s so while this kind of thing is very rare these days back during WW2, Korea and Vietnam you'd see everything from shark's teeth and thunderbolts to pinup-girls(that one's iconic, especially for bombers) and intricate designs sprawled over entire airframes. Some crews even painted their bombs. Tanks and even artillery shells sometimes got this kind of love too. This kind of personalization is rare these days for a great many reasons, including the fact that it sadly catches a lot of flack from the international media. There are _two_ places where you _do_ actually see this kind of personalization - B-52s. Because most B-52s are _fucking old_ and their paint is completely irrelevant to their defense it's not uncommon to see nose art on them. Secondly, when you see pictures of M1 Abrams in the field - take a peek at the barrel, there's a decent chance there'll be something there or on the fume extractor(the bulge in the middle).

The Roland C.II was also known as the "Walfisch", so it made sense to paint a large "shark style" mouth on it. This plane had a few interesting paint schemes as well. One had fish scales, another a mouth like a fish. It was a fairly formidable plane for it's time as it was made of an all wood fuselage, which was hard to shoot down. Armed with a rear facing Parabellum MG14 and a forward facing Spandau, it was a tough kill for an inexperienced pilot. The Red Baron (MvR) actually started his long WWI career flying them in late 1915.

Dad had an interesting job and I had an interesting childhood.
@geronimo5537 3 жыл бұрын
One reason there is less shark teeth or art in general is because of radar. Most modern aircraft use a classified radar retarding paint to reduce their radar signature. It is unlikely for the government to just give this paint to standard troops or get approved to use it by command. So a giant art piece in the front will create a much larger radar tracking surface. Along with other regulations and assignment rotation that prevent it of course. Personally I would like for every pilot to include some artwork on their assigned bird.

I used to have a white, 1976 Datsun pickup truck. I painted a shark mouth nose art on the old pickup truck. Back then, nothing was streamlined. But the Datsun pickup truck had a very streamlined look as compared to other vehicles. I could not resist. It got a lot of looks. But it went zero to 60 miles per hour in about one minute.

@Chrinik 3 жыл бұрын
@@Justin-zi5io But you usually make a rotary cannon (or gun) to increase the rate of fire by spreading the heatload onto multiple barrels because otherwise it's wasted weight. Why have multiple barrels if you are going to fire them at a mediocre rate that one barrel could feasably archieve? In fact, revolver cannons work on that very logic. But they still use the faster and more reliable feeding mechanism to increase the ROF anyway, typically to the low 1000+ rpm. But you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. (Fun bonus fact, I only know of one actual chaingun in military use, and that's the 25mm Bushmaster on the Bradley and LAV-25...the bolt is run on a chain with an external motor...on further inspection, the 30mm cannon on the Apache is also a chaingun. )

1) In olden times when planes were slow they could really see your nose art when shooting at each other. Now planes are taking shots beyond visual range... but it still looks cool. 2) Other branches of service may use the sharks mouth (Army helicopters, Navy ships, etc.) but in the USAF you are not allowed to paint the shark's mouth on any plane not in the lineage from the P-40s. We put it on one of our planes 30 years ago and were told to remove it for that reason. The A-10 unit that uses it is a descendent unit so it is authorized. Incidentally, my old unit that was told to remove it has now added it back on a plane now that everyone who had a problem with it is long gone.

I am a former COM/NAV systems specialist for the 2AS at Pope AFB from 1993-94. While there are several squadrons that fly the A-10, some have nose art and some do not. There is a Warthog worn by one squadron while the 23rd Wing's 74th and 75th Fighter Squadrons' A10s (and 23rd Wing's former 74FS F16s and 2AS C-130Es) carry the "shark nose" worn by the earlier P40 Warhawk and FT tail signs, because they are the current "Flying Tigers." The 74FS changed from F16s back to A10s in 1996, following an incident in 1994 at Pope. Due to realignment the 23rd Wing is now at Moody AFB and the A10s are still looking sharp, kicking butt, and breaking records. I am a former COM/NAV for the 2AS at Pope AFB in 1993-94.
