| Spitfires or 5 Series Italian fighters (More beautiful)
Between any wartime Spitfire and any Series 5 Italian fighter (Reggiane RE 2005 Sagittario, Macchi MC 205 Veltro, Fiat G 55 Centauro), which was the more beautiful?

Country: | The 5 series looks good, but the Spitfire looks better, I can't think of a more beautiful single engined plane
