One plane that seems to catch everyones imagination for some reason is the PBY Catalina.   I would think that might be in the transport class/flying boat.    I dont know that it would be useful in AH but It would be on my neat to see list.

P38 is great, but the lines and curves on the XP38 was superb. Built and streamlined like a race-car...

early spits look good

but the rest age like streetwalkers.


hurri is sweet,
B-17 is beautiful
Ju-88 is wunderschon


German aircraft look menacing and warlike from Do-18 and Fw-200 to fighters.

American and Soviet are functionally beautiful

Japanese are funky looking.but the paint jobs make em look good.

English build em 1 of 4 ways. Slow,Ugly, Slow and Ugly,and WTF?

ex.
1 Hurri Slow but Purty
Ugly Tempest,anticipating Boeings strangled fish look by 50 years
Slow and Ugly, any bomber
WTF? Boulten Paul Defiant, Fairy Battle, Vickers Wellesley
