I’m surprised the sleek lines of the Bf110 don’t figure in the list, it was a difficult decision for me to decide between it and the Rapide.

 

There are also so many others I like. But I voted for the Me 262 in the end.

I'm rather surpiced you went for the Rapide.It doesn't look elegant to me.

As I said earlier.We all look at a plane differently.

 

Choosing only one is difficult.

Hi all,

 

I was  wondering which aircraft you find to be the most beautiful/elegant of WW-2.

Designed before WW-2 and used in WW-2.

Designed during WW-2 ,not used in WW-2.

 

Not in terms of functionality.

Just overall look.

 

You can only name one !

 

For me...

Spitfire Mk. 1.

 

No contest. Most beautiful machine ever designed by man.

 

That's not my opinion. Its just a fact, and you all know it. It doesn't matter how many suppositories Jennings posts. :D

 

I'm joking of course.

 

No I'm  not.

 

Yes I am. 

 

:wicked:

Beauty, elegance - that is the description of a Spitfire.

 

I was going to say the me262 for designed during WW2 but that design started a year earlier in 1938 so it cannot count.

 

Designed started before WW-2 and flown during are OK.

 

Spitfire or Me 262 ?

There is some confusion.

 

Someone want to change their vote,let me know

If we are taking strictly about "elegance", I think that the Fiat G-55 absolutely oozes it. That beauty looks fast standing! 

Now, if we were to talk about "cool", "fast", "hyped-up", "features in every documentary about WW2", I may mention others (I.A.R.80/81 anyone? ;)), but for sheer elegance, nothing beats that sleek and aerodynamic machine.

Interesting, if we were going for the most elegant Italian aircraft of WWII, I'd go for the Veltro automatically.
