The Most Awesome Looking WWII Aircraft Ever

To me it has always been the Bf 109G. Absolutely beautiful aircraft. Looks like a war bird meant to kill, but still beautiful in its own way. I prefer the Bf 109G and Bf 109K variants the most, but I love all of them.

Great photos, and is it me, or is the floor of that Museum done up in a WWI German Lozenge camo pattern?
 
There are many planes that strike that "awesomeability" gong like a pent-up Himilayan Monk...

However, when I first saw this plane back in my youth, it blew me away.... The lines and grace of the long snout, the MASSIVE turbocharger intake, as well as the insanely futuristic set of wings and cannon armament are the pure definition of fierce elegance...

I love this frickin plane: The Ta152H...

Yep she is a beaut, Les. I personally prefer the 190A-8, but am not going to argue that there is an unmatched gracefulness to the 152. Like a bird of prey.
 
For sheer beauty.......McDonnell XP-67.

I would go P-38 Lightning at least in the Pacific theatre, it was a great fighter, fighter-bomber. It looked mean, had good range in Pacific and could hit hard when it got to its targets. I had heard there were some in the European Theatre of Operations although it mainly seems like they served in the Pacific as I have only seen about two photos of them suggesting they weren't that widely used...
