RE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES
OK now comes the monkey wrench. The corsair to me is a bent wing retard. Never really hated it but never really liked it either. Ok
I have my flame suit on so.....flame on!!![8D].
While I am at it now, the Cub is ridiculous....the only aircraft that can fly backwards in a good headwind!!!!

I would say this is quite a subjective subject. My opinion would be the Nieuport 11 bebe. There are not too many famous airplane paintings in art museums but one impressionistic oil painting stands out of a lone Nieuport 11 suspended in a sea of clouds.

Bugatti 100P - 1939
Not only absolutely gorgeous in that traditional racing blue, but hugely advanced for its time... I'd have one.

I'm not one to fawn over airliners, but I think you got to add the Conny to the list. Long legs, big cans, and plenty of curves - there's not a straight line on it. To me it seems to have an iconic art deco feel that will never be outdated.

There are so many beautiful planes that have come and gone. Although the P-51 is my all time favorite , a real stand out and perhaps the best looking multi -engine plane is the B-47 Stratojet.

No doubt about it the Bugatti is beautiful, and like I said in my first post the Conny is one of the most sexiest designes ever produced.
