i like spit fire
I like how so much of war is pragmatic, disciplined, and stoic. But then there’s the shark tooth paintings on aircraft basically for the reason of “dude, it’s badass!”
Yes, he says that it was to intimidate the enemy. That is laughable.
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).
Remember that most military personnel are basically 18 to 25 year olds... so it's very normal to see childish behaviour.
This Will get a lot of likes because Its a anime girl
@@gebermotta2558 what does that have to do with anything
Always thought nose art on planes was awesome. They should do it more on ships, I never saw a boat with teeth before

Japanese were also superstitious of unworldly things at one time, the pilots feared the shark mouths on flying tiger planes.

Fun Fact, in the small-ish town of Moultrie GA there is a diving well. It was founded by one of the men who served with the Flying Tigers, Robert C. “Moose” Moss. The team of which practices there are named the Diving Tigers. A picture of Moose Moss’ plane greets the guest who enter.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 'Warthog' aircraft firing 30mm depleted uranium ammo in front of its enemies from above with the fearsome shark jaw paint job is the most scary thing to the enemy and most joyful thing to its allies at the same time! 4:31- 5:03

The A-10 Warthog aircraft is so devastating that the Taliban nicknamed it “The Dragon”.
I mean...the sound it makes sounds like a dragon too
@@Terrorkekx if a dragon was 30mm shells being fired at 10,000 rpm in short bursts
It's quite simliar to dragon. While dragon can burst out a deadly blaze at their enemy, A-10 can burst out deadly 30 mms depleted uranium brrrrrrrrtttt at 3900 rpm
Puff The Magic Dragon: My boy, my pride and joy.
The A-10's cannon burst has had the moniker of "Dragon's Breath" for a long time...
If you hear the "BRRRRRRRRT" you're fine... if you don't hear it, it's too late.
I was actually part of the 23RD EMS Flying Tigers when I was in the USAF about 4 years ago, all of our A-10s at the base had the shark mouth painted on. We are apparently the only squadron in the entire US armed forces that are allowed to use the sharks mouth design.
maybe now in the Zoomies, VA-93 predated use by A-10 on the intakes of A7 Corsair II
The RC-135U Combat Sent wears the Shark mouth. Though it is not a combat aircraft.
The 23RD are the Flying Tigers, since the US absorbed them back into the USAAF upon our official entry into WWII. Before the 23RD flew the A-10A, they flew the A7D too. Before that, they flew lots of other aircraft, all with the shark teeth motif.
My uncle George Klein was a US sergeant during WWII and was based in the uk. He was great at art and painted many a plane nose during the war before returning home with my British aunty as his bride Mary. Both are passed on now but im extremely proud of the both. May they rest in peace.

@@longpants7894 I heard his first name starts with an A and ends with a H
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.
First video I've found by this channel, the fact that the animation of planes has it's own rolling shutter bending is really impressive.
*why was shark face was so popular?*
Everyone ever: *because it's fucking cool!*
According to Mr. Berbert, it was because it would scare the enemy.

4:02 This is where I remember those cool sharkteeth design, on Hueys! Always tried to drew them as a kid. Also, we have those on our (Philippine)air force's OV-10 Broncos!

Not just on Philippine OV-10A/C/M Bronco, but also to most fixed wing attack aircraft of the Philippine Air Force such as the WW2 fighter F-51 Mustang, SF-260, and the newest A-29B Super Tucano.

"It's believed that this was an attempt to try and scare off allied fighters". Yeah, sharks are way more formidable opponents than a fighter aircraft. "I had to flee, the plane had a meanie face!" xD
The nose art was very effective in scaring the germans away from battle.
"Verdammit Hanz! There are sharks in the sky!"

"Who cares!? Run Hanz!"
"Are we the baddies? Our planes have Shark teeth on them."

no problem :p
Not at all.
@@dracon501 just the badasses
“Has one of the most powerful guns ever mounted on an aircraft”
No, this is absolutely incorrect, because the wings and cockpit are built on the gun.
Yup, the A-10 is really just a flying automatic cannon with wings, two engines, and a titanium tub for the pilot.
@@Slender_Man_186 and with missiles and bombs too
Air to ground cannon as well. Its tilted down slightly. Its not horizontal.
It's the only weapon in the sky that can make the plane stall out and go backwards if your hold the trigger too long.
@@Saintbow kinda, the thrust produced by the GAU-8 Avenger firing is equal to one of the engines, hence why the A-10 has two engines. But yeah, it will stall out if you keep firing the main cannon, and it burns through fuel from what I’ve heard.

My wife's grandfather was in an aero squadron in France during WWI. They were still training when the war ended. Several of the AVG "Flying Tigers" moved on to Catha Pacific and Air America after WWII. Many were my mentors while I was growing up, along with former OSS operatives. Dad had an interesting job and I had an interesting childhood.
I noticed the gun is offset on the Warthog, AMAZING use of detail as this is how the gun is actually placed on the plane.
It reminds me of when people drew eyes on ships
They drew shark teeth also but only the fish could see them.

A10 Warthog. The shark of the skies, Litteraly rips out anything it sees below him and leaves nothing behind.
Perfect plane for it
the nose art made it easier to hit the pilot with boults from the ground .. and you wonder why this paint job is not done anymore
I’ve talked to pilots of the A10. They say it’s not the prettiest bird in the sky but she is one of the safest. That thing also has one of the scariest stall speeds for a twin jet engine ground attack aircraft. I have some friends that survived Iraq and Afghanistan, they felt more secure seeing a Thunderbolt II overhead. That or old spooky.

Turkish army still uses shark teeth nose art on military aircraft, even on drones.
I'm from the Philippines, we also still use shark teeth design on our ground attack aircraft (OV-10 Bronco and Embraer Super Tucano)
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.
"Bro you see half-track right there?"
"Make it fly"
Seeing as I went to a random desert war in support of A10's, I was glad you mentioned them.
It is truly a flying gun, you would be shocked how large each shell is.

First time seeing the fame nose art was turning the Flying Tigers episode on Dogfights
If a 30mm hits a solft target. They'll turn into pink mist.
Its basically a super sonic Grenade
That's prob a 20mm too. It's not like thats a unique characteristic or anything.
@@accountname9506 no they Mount 30mm and what makes it unique is that it is a much larger rotary cannon which means increased fire rate, not just a regular auto cannon.
@@Mika-ph6ku rotary cannon does not increase the rof it just is the way the gun works
@@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. )
Extra fact: The A-10’s iconic shark mouth is only worn by the 23rd Fighter Group because the squadron descends from the Flying Tigers
fun fact, there was one HA-1112 that flew with a shark mouth (it makes a lot of sense taking in mind that the nose of that plane is kind of similar to the nose of a P-40) in the spanish air army, and also a two seater VA-1S matador
