| Purtiest Aircraft of WW2 What do you think are the nicest looking aircraft of WW2, including prototypes? Here are a few:  Mitsubishi Ki 46 III Dinah http://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/ja...tsubishi_ki_46 A memory aid was used that paid tribute to the streamlined appearance of the Ki-46: “ DINAH with the fine linah“.  Messerschmitt Me 262 http://www.stormbirds.com/project/ga...ery_2005_1.htm  Heinkel He 111 http://www.studenten.net/customasp/a...=3&pte_id=4709  Supermarine Spitfire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire |
