1)P38

she has that "don't screw with me, or i'll ruin your day" look to her, both in the air, and on the ground.

2)P51

she has to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built. her lines are smooth, and flow into one another.

I agree with you on both of these. And I'm sorry but the Mitchell only looks good from an,I"ll mess you up if you f@&$ with me" stand point; past that she is kinda homely.

And I'm sorry but the Spit dosen't look like a fighter unless you have flown her for a while. Hey, I calls em' as I sees em'.

Spitfire XII will always be my favorite for best looking of the Spits.  Great combo of sleek and tough.



The early model 38s with the smaller intakes are a close second



With the P51B/C right behind


The 109E4/7 with the pointed spinner would be my 4th pick for best looking bird.

I have to agree with you on the XII. Definately my favorite-faster than a typh down low, clipped wings, and sexy looks combine to make one heck of an aircraft. :aok IX ain't far behind though.
