The true origin of the "shark's teeth" on WWII fighter aircraft...

Not the P-40s of North Africa. Not the P-40's of the Flying Tigers in China.
 The original --- German Bf 110 fighter aircraft of squadron ZG 76
Infact,shark teeth appeared even earlier,in WW1 with the German flyers,  see photo of Roland CII

dornier do-18

Bf 110 C of 7/ZG26, Fw Helmut Neitzki, Trapani-Milo, early 1942.
 Nice and unusual paint scheme ( with little circular spots ), wich suggest a transfer flight to North-Afrika.
