Is that a "sun" under the other wing? As in, flying tigers type air plane? Or am I confusing some other insignia?

The insigna on that P-40 appear to be a tribute- AVG personnel were contract employees of the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company and had resigned their commissions in the US Army or Navy... considerable effort was made to disassociate the unit from any connection to the US gummint since we were not at war with Japan at the time the AVG began operations. The Chinese sunburst insigna was standard for these planes. When the AVG was disbanded and pilots transferred into the USAAC in the spring of '42 they took the shark-mouth and Flying Tiger logo with them... Of interest is the fact that the AVG never referred to themselves as the 'Flying Tigers'; that title was invented by the American press which bestowed heroic status on them back home despite Chennault's attempts to keep things under the radar, as it were. The winged tiger was designed by Disney studios and began to be applied to AVG machines only just before they disbanded. The shark-mouth was copied from a RAF unit flying in North Africa but will ever be *owned* by the P-40Bs of the AVG... OK, I need a beer.
