Best looking propeller driven plane.

Personally I don't know, always lean towards the British mosquito and the American F7F. But if I had to give an answer I'd probably say the Spitfire F. Mk 24.

No real goal, just bored ennit
the Avro Lancaster. these powerful four engined heavy bombers rained death and destruction on the Nazi Beast from 1942 onwards.

Mk9 Spit. Perfection in aeronautical form.
Mitsubishi A6M Zero
Avro Lancaster or the P-51 Mustang.

The chrome effect look is something else, but those wings are awfully square and clumsy...

Square? (this is a 6B but it's largely the same, just that the floats are longer on the 6B)

Yep. No sweep, no sleek tips, no dihedral... I appreciate Mitchell was still learning at that point, but it can't be the best looking with those aesthetic limitations.

I prefer straight wing aircraft, for example I think the Mig-9 is much nicer looking than the Mig-15, I know their jets but still.
