| I personally, though i accidentally voted yes on the poll, that the french bombers have some beauty in them. While they dont seem to look like the most effective weapons in which to instill fear in the heart of the enemy, some of them with that extensive glazing and box like structure just let me appreciate the true uniqueness of the things. | |

| Haha, less inner voices and more just waking up from a long night of...well i had a long night. But something about those bombers just gets me, they look like its a miracle they flew, but i can just see one flying in front of a sunset somewhere, and the glazing and structure being silhouetted by the sun, it would look pretty damn cool. | |

Country: | 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.

| I don't think ugly quite has it covered...voted yes..I have read french aircraft were very slow to attack however very fast when running away...
did anyone see on ebay there is a large cache of french WW2 circa 1940 infantry rifles for sale. add reads rifles have never been fired and all have only been dropped once.
