I voted no. I kinda like the looks of the Amiot 143, Bloch MB.200 & 210. Curved, smooth, sleek looking planes get kinda monotonous, its nice to see some angles once in a while.

Agreed CC, smooth curves are OK but sharp angles are just hidious as you say (as are Greenhouse's)

If you find French bombers attractive, and something about them "just gets you..." never post a picture of any woman you've been with, please.


Hey, thats a little uncalled for, and were i not afraid of getting kicked off the one forum where i can find people who know what theyre talking about, i would really have something to say to you...the discussion was about our opinions on the aircraft, not on the decision of the person who answered the poll...keep your negative comments to your self please, if they concern me, or anyone whom i am with, were it about the aircraft, leaving out your little knock at my standards of beauty between a woman and aircraft, i wouldnt have been offended.

Thats a decent pic of a Farman 223, up there around pic 3 or so. France used one of them named Jules Verne to bomb Berlin on June 7, 1940.

Ive read that this was the first time Berlin was bombed during WWII (and albeit by the French!!) I dont know whether thats the truth or not though.

Oh stop being a *****, Carp, no one will kick you off this forum for reacting to what I said to you. Plus it was a joke. A sense of humour would serve you well. Anyway, French bombers are ugly...and if you find them attractive...jesus christ I don't want to see your women...

Your right, my sense of humor was missing because well, im ending up in the hospital for about a month because of some internal imbalances and some other personal stuff, so i wasnt in the best of moods, and looking back it was pretty damn funny. Sorry for the way i kinda got all testy and serious, usually im never like that.

Which is why you are losing the poll by a considerable amount...

Same sorta thing happened about the looks of certain Fw-190's didnt it, and you were in the wrong again there...

That is what I was thinking Eric. At least he is losing by a considerable amount.
