In my view the Bregeut 693, Loire et Olivier 451, Amiot 351/354 and Potez 630 are nice

I think there were a few ugly 1930s aircraft - the Handley Page Hampden, the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley and the Douglas B18 Bolo

The Hampden isn't bad, the Whitley is worse but they are both much better than most the French pre-war bombers...

That particular Whitley is hideous, that ones with glazed noses werent so bad. The Hampden is quite a pretty plane Ive always thought.

The Fairey Hendon? THAT was ugly.
