According to Jinny Beyer's marvelous new book, Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns, pg.288, #11, this block has several names:
Clara Stone called it Fish in 1906
She also called it Whirligig in 1906
Later it was also called Airplane Motif, Fish Quilt, Fish Block, Dove in the Window, Goldfish, Trout and Bass Block

It's still one of the cutest patterns out there, imho.
