The only info I can find on the subject is this.....AVG(American Volunteer Group) fighter planes were painted with a large shark-face on the front of the plane. This was done after pilots saw a photograph of RAF 112 Squadron in North Africa, which in turn had adopted the shark motif from German pilots in Crete. About the same time, the AVG was dubbed "Flying Tigers" by their Washington support group, called China Defense Supplies.
