The first documented nose art (according to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) was on an italian flying boat (it's an airplane) in 1913. By WWII nose art was in full swing. Everyone had it. One extremely popular style was the open sharks mouth and eyes, which was used in "1943 (by) the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! became the first American !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in their !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with 100 kills, they adopted the shark-face for their !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
