I have seen women who resembled French bombers.
Most Beautiful Aircraft of WW2?

That airplane looked both steam punk and Buck Rogers to me. Or an airships gondola grafted to an airplane. It is a unique design.

Several is not the fingers of both hands unless you are the victim of an industrial accident.
Hi,
I have to admit to liking the looks of some aircraft because of their unique appearance, but I don't know if that qualifies them as being "attractive". Along those lines though I kind of like the French SNCASE SE 100, and the German Me 262. (In fact the Me 262, with its "shark"-like appearance is probably the only German plane of that era that I kind of like the looks of).
For the Italians, I think pretty all of their late era "5-series" single engine fighters were good looking. For the UK, although I don't think most of their planes were too bad looking nothing too much stands out for me as really good looking, except maybe the Whirlwind.
For the Soviets, I don't know much about thier aircraft, and as such nothing sticks out to me. For the Japanese I really like the looks of the J2M Raiden. And finally for the US, while I like the B-17 as a big bomber, and the B-25 and A-20 for smaller muti-engine aircraft, I tend to really like the looks of alot of the stubby radial single engine aircraft like the P-47, Hell Cat, Avenger, Hell Diver, and even the Bermuda and Buffalo (plus also the SBD Dauntless).
I suspect that some of my pics are probably colored by the fact that I guess I'm probably more familiar with the US planes than those of other nations though.

Agreed, with the exception that it looks like someone smacked the nose so hard it shifted the cockpit to one side.

If you needed one, I have no doubt the most beautiful airplane would be a PBY.

In a word....BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
That pic is definitely a good advert for going down the aircrew route rather than ground (water...ice?) crew.

I think some of the designs from Arado were very attractive, especially the Ar-234. It was a very clean, simple but well proportioned shape.

This ranks up there somewhere:

Lots more, but that's enough, I think, for now anyway.

Yeah there the ones you need to put a paper bag over their heads, then one over yours in case there's falls off.
