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.

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...

That is not a good looking plane.

The Lancaster is better looking.

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

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

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

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