Ugliest Plane of WW2?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it wasn't the P.108 the lancaster was easily the best looking and indeed best bomber of the war...............

and the whilley was only any good as a glider tug.....................

I know that they weren't very effective, but I think the early versions of the B-17, like the C and D, were absolutely gorgeous planes.

 

[cheddar cheese]

the b-29 is the best bomber easily! and the p.108 was the best looking, slightly swept back wings, amazing camo, a styled and very pretty bombadier position sleek lines, the list goes on...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the nose on that thing's ugly as hell!!!

the nose of the lancaster however on easily one of the best in the war..............

 

[plan_D]

That is not a good looking plane.

The Lancaster is better looking.

 

[cheddar cheese]

youre all blind anyway, looks are a matter of opinion 8)

 

[plan_D]

Yes, yes they are. And the opinion of everyone, except you, is that the P.108 is ugly.

 

[cheddar cheese]

hey, a few people are with me on the p.108's looks, trouble is they aint around anymore one guy even went a bit OTT and said it was the best bomber of the war, which ill admit it wasnt, but it was bloody beautiful 8)

 

[plan_D]

I don't really care about looks, on a plane, as long as it performs well...

 

[cheddar cheese]

looks are good to have though

 

[plan_D]

Looks are the bonus, on anything.

 

[Lightning Guy]

And the whole point of this thread is to discuss looks, or, more accurately, the lack thereof.

 

[cheddar cheese]

now this is where the hideously ugly fairey albacore comes in

 

[Lightning Guy]

It could well be argued that the British had the prettiest and the ugliest planes of the war.

 

[cheddar cheese]

i dont know about prettiest, but most definately ugliest

 

[plan_D]

Therefore they had the only planes of the war...

Sorry.

 

[Lightning Guy]

The Spitfire was an absolute beauty.

 

[plan_D]

Yes, yes it was.

 

[cheddar cheese]

thats true, but i prefer the looks of the hurricane to the spit 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the wings of the 108 weren't swept back, the 111's were however............

i think the mossie is one of the best looking planes of the war.............
