Ugly:)

And when I see an ugly plane I thingk it must be French.

Disclaimer:


The mentioning of French in the above post was not meant to attack, antagonise or generally piss off the REAL French citizens.  It is just the opinion of this person that the French made some damn ugly planes.  And to be fair so did the Germans, Russians and those Eyetalians.:D

The first prototypes of FW190 also had this kind of ducted spinner.

Bloody brits where so impressed with the radiator lay out that Kurt Tank developed for the 190D9 and Ta152 that they tried to copy it.  Kurt knew better then to try to get fighter pilots to accept a potato peeler spinner again though. Even if its 10mph faster the fly boys will not it.....

I think Junkers invented that radiator layout.  See the Ju 88.
