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

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.

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

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

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?
