Hello grounded, actually yes I have many books in my home library that have pictures of the P-51 with shark mouths painted on them. It was not as common but yes they do exist. Infact if you look after my post and actually look at the pictures that were posted by other people, you will see a P-51 with shark mouth. I believe thought it is a F-51 during the Korean war though and not WW2. There were more WW2 aircraft then you think painted with them (more than I knew too before this thread) including RAF and Luftwaffe aircraft. I have even seen Isreali P-51's and Bf-109's painted with them. Here is an USAAF P-51B with a shark mouth.
Below it is a DC-3 with a Shark mouth.

Maybe the idea was to distract enemy pilots. 
"What the fuck is that?!"

That is wild. Why the heck put a sharks mouth on a C-47??? I guess you could say it has a belly full of paratroopers.

I think its neat but like I said if I had been a Luftwaffe pilot, as soon as I was doen laughing I would shoot it down out of principle.

I'm not convinced that DC-3 was a military version. It has a white strip with writing that I cannot make out. That is typically indicative of a civilian transport.

Which makes it look even more retarded!

You are probably right and do to the fact that a civilian DC-3 woudl be painted this way would make me want to shoot it down even more.
