Ugliest Plane of WW2?

[MichaelHenley]

BOTT (acronym for Back On The Topic)... I think the Lysander should get a mention...

 

[Lightning Guy]

I don't think the Lysander was ugly at all. It was a bit unconventional yes, but it was perfectly designed for the type of roles it was called on to perform. Perhaps most interesting were the missions involving actual landings in occupied Europe to drop off Allied agents.

sort of the british equivillant of the storch...............

 

[MichaelHenley]

The Storch was ugly too...

 

[Lightning Guy]

I don't think even the Lysander could match the Storch for STOL performance but it was probably the better all-around aircraft.

This thing definately needs to be added to the "ugliest" list..

Rogozarski IK-Z:

This thing makes the IK-Z look like a P-51:

The IK-3 looks like a Hurrican mated to a Lagg-3 and a Mig-3.

is it just me or does the port wingtip of the Ik-Z look a slightly different shape to the starboard??

 

[MichaelHenley]

Looks to me like a slightly modified Hurricane, with an underside intake similar to a P-51. I ask you, is a Hurricane or a P-51 ugly?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

absolutly not........................

 

[lesofprimus]

It looks to have the nose of a Spit, the center section of a Cane, and the tail of some peice of crap, cause thats one ugly tail section....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the french still had worse...................

 

[JCS]

Especially the Amiot 143

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

although a couple were ok.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

Heres a damn strong candidate...

Heinkel He-45

 

[Patoruzu]

Never heard about the Amiot 143 bomber or the Bloch 200 or proyect like the Martin-Baker Tankbuster or the Shorts Fleetshadower that were Ugly plane

 

[mosquitoman]

I haven;t heard of the Martin-Baker or the Shorts planes, what do you know about them?

 

[redcoat]

[JCS]
