Never seen a photo of one with the Argus engine before! Does seem like it would be underpowered with the weight of the armored cockpit.

"A key requirement of the original specification was that the aircraft be powered by engines that were not in demand for other designs. Prototypes with low-power german Argus As 410 engines of 465 PS (459 hp; 342 kW) failed acceptance test, a more powerful replacement was found with the french Gnome et Rhône 14M engine of 700 PS (690 hp; 515 kW)."

Ditto, I thought it was a Fw 189C and just mislabeled. After a search of the Luftwaffe Resource Center I realized it actually was an early Hs 129S

Two more. The PBY's predecessor, the P2Y (IIRC this one was an export model in South America?)

And a B-18A, although the name Jonah would indicate whale rather than shark:

My kids came home with this for the dog. Of course they didn't see the significance of the the face but obviously I did. I proceeded to show them this thread and they thought it was pretty neat. You know I just had to share it with you ladies and gentlemen.

Nice! And I guess at some point I have missed the C-121 with a shark mouth - that is different!

Here's one from a Darwin defender in 1942-43. The intention was spot-on, but I don't think they're meant to look so happy!
