B-24 Liberator Bomber with Shark-Mouth Nose Art, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII
A Consolidated B-24 Liberator, its nose decorated with a fierce shark-mouth motif, sits on a forward airfield in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Shark-mouth nose art, made famous by the American Volunteer Group 'Flying Tigers,' remained a popular tradition among USAAF crews flying long-range bombing and supply missions over the CBI Theater's rugged terrain.
