The MiG 3 doesn´t look that bad also.
In general I would prefer the Spit MK V.

Hideous? Oh, I don't think so really - it's not beautiful, but it's workmanlike. It had a clearly defined job to do, and looks that way.

Yeah it was a good aircraft but I really dont like its looks.

What wrong with that Ki-10? Just looks like normal cheery biplane.

I think the Spitfire/Mustang is the essence of a beautiful fighter. Not as cool as the P-38 but looks more pure.

Fw-190D-9..... Period....... Has been the sexiest thing with a propeller to me since I was 12 or 13..........

Second place is the Corsair, out of respect for my Grandfather...

LMFAO!
That's got to be the best sig yet!

To me the most beautiful are the later Merlin powered Spitfires, such as the Mk. VIII, and most of the wartime Griffon powered Spitfires. In their elliptical winged form, that is. The clipped wings do nothing for the looks.
The Corsair naturally rates among the most beautiful fighters ever created.

that's gotta be the weirdest suggestion yet.........

but in looks i'd put it:

1) Supermarine Spitfire, later griffon marks or later merlin marks
2) Avro Lancaster Mk.I, the best looking bomber of the war

and i also believe the P-47 is worthy of an honary mention......

The Halifax III has nice lines but the nose of the earlier version ruins it.
I quite like the looks of the Sunderland aswell

What's wrong with the Catalina? It's a wonderfully smooth bird.
