still looks like a Me 262 wannabe

Except that it was a special built aircraft for the 1934 England to Australia air race, which it won. Second place went to a KLM DC-2 and third was a Roscoe Turner flown Boeing 247, both commercial passenger planes that stunned the world with their performance at that time.

Dh 88 Comet
only three ever built (not including replicas) still has had a failry large impact on aviation. Can anyone spot the family resemblances to other Dhs?

It was made of wood, it was the first De Havilland 'Wooden Wonder'. I won one of the many of the Britain to Australia Air races back in the 'Golden Age' of aviation.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

alright then who knows the aircraft on the ceiling above it?

and the Whirlwind is an exceptionally beautiful aircraft.........

 

[mosquitoman]

Is it a Flying Flea?

 

[Monique]

It sure looks tiny. I'd never get into a plane that small. Hmmm, I have not a clue what it is. Besides a little tiny plane that has a rather awkward and unaestheticaly pleasing look.​

mignet, flea.
I think thats how you spelt the guys name.
Some sources that i have read said that it was a death trap and some say it was very stable.
I have no idea myself.
However this is very off topic as it is a hideous

 

[lancasterman]

The mosquito hands down just look at her!

 

[mosquitoman]

How can I not agree?

I'd have thought you'd put down the Lanc as your most beautiful

 

[hole in the ground]

well although i am not going to change my mind about the comet,
mosquito man i believe that you are forgetting the Hornet perhaps?

 

[mosquitoman]

A close second

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Bf-109K, FW-190D or Mosquito.

 

[pierre66]

very nice all that!

Actually I think the Yak-3 is a good looking plane as well, to me I think its the definitve shape for a single engined WW2 Fighter.

How about the Lockheed Constellation? I believe it saw duty in WWII as a transport. It was designed to outrun the ZERO at altitude re-supplying the Chinese Army.

Navy Designation R7V, I flew them in VR-7A at Tachikawa AFB 1962-1985. We were primarily Med Evac, but handled troops and general cargo, including drums of Agent Orange.

I also flew them with TWA, and Seaboard, who farmed me out to Aer Lingus under contract for a year.

They were a very pretty bird. I met my future wife on a Dublin layover.

For me it the Ho 229
Martin Baker/MB-5
Vought xf5u
Martin xb51 this would have been cool with the GE 412's
