Most Beautiful Aircraft of WW2?

[Elmas]

Only the designer

In Naples there's a proverb that says that even a beetle is beautiful to his mother's eyes.
But in the case of the Amiot 143, not even to the designer, I suppose......

 

[Donivanp]

I vote for the P-61B Black Widow

 

[fastmongrel]

The Amiot 143, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles 1st and thankfully last joint aircraft design

 

[gomwolf]

Few people are voting because only a few can narrow it down to ONE aircraft.

I've got a opinion too, but why should I vote just to have you invalidate my vote.

This viot for what kinds of aircraft design is most popular, so singular answer is needed. And if you show me your favorite, I will not invalidate your opinion, even you make your list. Please do not feel the burden.

 

[Waynos]

Petlyakov PE2

 

[tyrodtom]

I'm torn between the A6M5 Zero, and the Spitfire MkVII. I'd say a earlier Mk of Spitfire, but I can't stomach that tailwheel sticking out in the breeze.

I guess I'll vote Spitfire MkVII.

Fairly sure it's 3 now for the Mosquito

Tough, but if I have to pick one it would be the Spitfire. If I had to pick one Mark it would be the lightest and most agile, the Mk I. I can live with the tail wheel and as a bonus I don't have cannon and associated bulges on the wings

F7F-3 Tigercat (no radome, dark blue paint), although I must admit I am torn between that and an early P-38 or the P-61.

T!

 

[MSlechta]

P-51, any model.

 

[Marcel]

Spitfire and BF109 on top already? You're sheep, the lot of you

 

[Geisel_der_Lufte]

I would have to say Ta 152, with the Me 262 a close second.

 

[Kryten]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when it comes to beautiful lines I vote for the DC3 Dakota!

 

[glennasher]

Since my previous post was invalid, I'll go with the P-51D, then.

 

[Rufus123]

Do-26

Fairly sure it's 3 now for the Mosquito
