Repost from @dig_everydaycarry • Here's @thekeyport with the pilot face plate on 🙌🔥🔥 Reminds me of the famous warplanes from WWII. Looks super cool and ready for the day. Historically, The first reported use of any sort of art on an aircraft was in 1913 when an Italian boat plane was seen sporting a sea monster on its fuselage. Italian pilots regularly adorned their war planes with distinctive markings. Generally considered as the golden age of nose art, WWII gave rise to the most popular and well known images of nose art. The Shark tooth design made its first appearance on the nose of Luftwaffe Bf 110s. Having duelled in the skies above Crete with the ‘shark mouthed’ German fighters, the members of No.112 Squadron RAF copied the shark tooth smile onto their new Curtiss P40s in North Africa. This was copied again by the First American Volunteer group, the Flying Tigers, in China. The Flying Tigers use of shark teeth is perhaps the most recognisable piece of nose art to be displayed on fighter aircraft during this conflict. #carrykeysbetter #keyring #keychain #keyrings #keychains #gift #giftideas #love #mykeyport #keyport #accessories #key #gifts #resin #fashion #art #keys #personalisedgifts #personalised #craft #customisable #edcgear #custom #customs #photography #photoshoot #productphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CVwAEruvFjI/?utm_medium=tumblr
