Beauty Queens.

In a beauty contest... which WW2 aircraft--any catagory--would be in your Final Three?

For me:
Lockheed P-38F-G-H model Lightning
De Haviland Mosquito
Messerschmitt Me-262

Tim

 

Tricky one...

For me, I'd say:

Supermarine Spitfire (Any Merlin version)
Martin B-26 Marauder
dH Mosquito

 

You should know my answer already...
DH Mosquito

 

...Especially the glass-nose version, eh?...

Anyway, i love too many ww2 planes so in my constantly changing top 3 this time are;

1)Spitfire
2)P-38
3)Hayate

 

Ossian:
You're short two Beauty-Queens...

Tim

 

Oh, do I really have to....

OK, 2 and 3 are
PBY Catalina flying boat -- wierd but "cute"
Spitfire (any mark as long as it doesnt have a bubble canopy)

 

In no particular order, by the way, its difficult to pick just three

B-26 Marauder

Bristol Beaufighter

Spitfire

I imagine the Spitfire would come close to the top of alot of lists, its tough to put my finger on what it is exactly, but it has a grace and presence that is still unequaled to this day

 

Willy:
If my question had been revised to the "Top Five"... the "Spit" would have been on my list as well.
I think it's the uniqueness and beauty of that elliptical-wing.

In no particular order

Spitfire

Mitsubishi K-64-II Dinah (not the 'greenhouse nose')

Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate

 

1. MiG-3 (later version)


2. Pe-2


3.Caudron CR-714

MiG and Caudron have a real Racer look and Peshka is just beutifull.

No. 1

Fw 200 C-3
