| As 'erotic' appeal, Spitfire MkI or II (the ones without ugly pipes protruding from the wings) it seems designed by the air itself.
As 'engineering' appeal, Ta152H: looking at it one has the impression that there is absolutely nothing more than necessary, skinny and essential.

| The most graceful & elegant aircraft has to be the spitfire - even with the volks airfilter !! 
For bombers - the wellington & lancaster are my favourites for the uk & the B17 for the US.
