Country: | I don't believe you. I think a catapult experiment is required.
And the Sunderland is still fat, it just pulls it off quite well.

Second place is the Corsair, out of respect for my Grandfather... | Seconded. That is one cool plane. And i don't know for sure why the painting of the spiral was made compulsory in 1944, but it sure gave german planes a unique look!

Country: | The B-26 is a beauty too.
I just think the B-29 is so nice though. Sleek, sexy, torpedo like. And the shape of the engine nacelles is wonderful
