The B-24! It oozes awesomeness IMHO with its slender wing, flying-boat-like fuselage and the futuristic looking oval vertical stabilizers! I never get tired watching it from any angle.
Forget the Fortress (typical boring beauty) and the Lancaster (now THAT is ugly incarnate, looks like a flying hunchback ).

That 'Dragon and his tail' has to be the best nose/fuse art! That bottom one doesn't look very attractive; I also have suspicions about its airworthiness...
 
Any landing you can walk away from... That looks like a classic nosewheel problem. The Liberators were pretty well know for fragile nose gear. I know a guy that was an instructor for them during WWII and he said landing a Liberator on a grass strip wasn't a good idea.
