If you in the cold cold waters of the North Atlantic she's a beautiful lady!

And again the three breasted hooker from Total Recall comes to mind...

That's very sad what happened to that boat. I gotta wonder if the owner's hadn't passed on and no one else cared to take over ownership of it.
All that work, shot to hell.

I always thought this one looked pretty good. Sleeeeek!

IMO, Spitfire is the prettiest prop plane of the war, Ar234 the prettiest jet.

I beg to differ! The Mustang takes too honers in my not so humble opinion! I'll agree on the 234 though for those that flew operational in WWII!

The Bell Airacobra is pretty.

The Bell Airacobra is pretty.

Especially the jet ones.

What the actual fu*k is that supposed to be? Other than laughable.

Torque about a "Vomit Kommet".

(see what I did there?)

From a consistency perspective, it's pretty hard to argue that De Havilland made some really attractive aircraft:

'

I'll admit the offset canopy of the Sea Vixen is something of an aberration (and I personally prefer the FAW 1 without the overwing tanks), I see this as an exception to prove the rule. Overall, De Havilland had an excellent track record in designing and building really attractive aircraft.

The D.H 88 is a beautiful plane. There was a too brief discussion about it here a year or so ago.

The DH.91 is one of my favorite airframes for various reasons, of which looks is one.

 

[WARSPITER]

Starting to see where science fiction movies get their inspiration from for certain craft.

 

[GrauGeist]

Of all the WWII jets, operational or close to it, the He280 had the best looks, to be honest.
