Finkeren Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Thanks for clearing that up. Well, if you want Beauty, look no further than Breguet and Potez. The recon version of the Potez 630 (Edit: Sorry, Potez 63.11) has always been a favourite of mine. Its proportions are such, that it really should be an ugly aircraft but somehow it just isn’t, it’s magnificently elegant. It also carries some extra meaning for me, since it was the plane that my all-time favorite author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry flew during the battle of France and wrote about in his “Pilot de Guerre”.

=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I really had a hard time with this one. There is not a single but a dozen of favorite aircraft I have. But except for a Zero that is an obvious choice, PZL P-11c that is a natural choice and P-51 D that was already mentioned I have a special place in my heart for this beauty:

Jade_Monkey Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks for clearing that up. Well, if you want Beauty, look no further than Breguet and Potez. Whaaat? It's as if an IL2 and a He111 had a baby
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 4x 20mm cannon?If it does, it must hurt. They later wanted to add two 13.2 mm machine guns in nose for reasons ... guess you never have enough firepower Small floatplanes are small. Better fly big one: 3

AndyJWest Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I can't help feeling that this thread has strayed rather far from the originally intended topic: WW2 aircraft that are aesthetically pleasing. Either that, or some people have very strange tastes indeed...
Blooddawn1942 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Maybe we should rename the thread into "What is your most favorite obscure and unknown aircraft"
Finkeren Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 That one is so damn beautiful as well. By far the most beautiful floatplane ever built.
Uufflakke Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 @Inkoslav How dare you? Actually P38 is the ugliest plane in my opinion I have to report your inappropiate post to the moderators. You deserve a permanent ban. My contribution to this thread is our national P-38 lookalike the Fokker G1.

Either that, or some people have very strange tastes indeed... Maybe we should rename the thread into "What is your most favorite obscure and unknown aircraft" Of course it should. We all want to show each other how deep our WWII airplane knowledge is by posting pictures of planes that only their designers could love.
Blooddawn1942 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Well... Maybe I can take part. Not really WWII but WWI: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EhpGSyuhDz4 Edited October 20, 2017 by Blooddawn1942
6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Worst Plane in the History of ever: 2 Built, both never got more than 20m off the Ground, broke their Wings, killing their respective Pilots.

Either that, or some people have very strange tastes indeed... No accounting for taste, my good man - I genuinely find most of those french beasts, the seaplanes and other oddities far more aesthetically pleasing than the incredibly droll p-51. It's not all about sleek lines! 2

Either that, or some people have very strange tastes indeed... It is a sort of snobbery. After building 1/72 scale spitfires your entire boyhood you eventually get bored of them and your taste evolves or goes elsewhere. Nothing against those admiring the classics.
Ribbon Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 This thread makes me create another one similar but with womens instead of airplanes! I would love to see taste for womans from some posters here, i bet thread would derail into posting pics of deep sea creatures ;P

Finkeren Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Why is that plane being piloted by one of the ghosts from Pac-Man? 2
PatrickAWlson Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 So back on topic: Me163. I always thought that was a cool looking little plane. Near useless. More likely to kill its pilot than the enemy. But still a neat looking thing.
[LeLv34]Lykurgos88 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 VL Pyörremyrsky! Too bad it never saw action. It was a Finnish fighter using Bf 109's engine. Out of the fighters that actually saw action, Russian Mig-3, Japanese Ki-61 and French Morane-Saulnier MS-406 look coolest Sleek design is best design! 1
ZachariasX Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 The MS-406... even sounds as bad as it looks. In flight, seen next to a Mustang, you might think it is the one from the leper colony.
Feathered_IV Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 In all seriousness, I do find the lines of the Bristol Bombay to be very appealing.
ZachariasX Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) In all seriousness, I do find the lines of the Bristol Bombay to be very appealing. Are these black specks on the wing (next to the engine nacelles) perforations? Does it transport pets in there? Edit: looks more like a self-propelled version of this: But at least the aircraft has the fame of being the coffin of William Gott, making Montgomery commander of the forces in Africa.
