    Purtiest Aircraft of WW2

    Mitsubishi Ki 46 III Dinah

    A memory aid was used that paid tribute to the streamlined appearance of the Ki-46: “ DINAH with the fine linah“.


    Messerschmitt Me 262

    Nice stuff Wildcat! I'd have to disagree with the Boomerang being considered a "Purty Aircraft." The Boomerang, well it looks like a Boomerang!

    All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
    From the ashes a fire shall be waken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.

    John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
