Curious Aircraft

[olbrat]

What WWII aircraft do you find curious, that is to say not necessarily beautiful or ugly, but ones that keep drawing your attention.

A few examples for me would be:
JU-188 (I am drawn especially to the cockpit),
Bloem & Voss P-170 (set back cockpit and wingtip engine mounting)
ME321 Gigant (overall shape and front doors)
J7W Shinden (overall style)

IMHO I wouldn't call it ugly but it is damn interesting. Would love to have taken a ride in it.

Thank you for that picture! I was thinking of that aircraft also, but I couldn't remember the model number - also the german bomber with the extra engine (twin fuselage?).

I agree with you about wanting to ride in some of these, although, for some of them I think I would take the ride with a parachute on my back and one hand on the escape hatch!

Thanks Comiso90 and Flyboy2, that's it!

I keep flipping pictures like these up on my computer screen so I can study them when I get put on "hold" on my phone at work.
