The B-17 is a pretty nice airplane to fly however.


Outstanding. Thanks for sharing. I'm envious; such a magnificent
airplane. It's not the most beautiful multi-engine airplane ever built
I don't know what is.


I'd apply the "most beautiful" sobriquet to the Lockheed Connie, flawed
Wright Cyclones and all.


Fascinating. Similar to Bertie's Albatross vote.

I saw a Connie and a B-17 together at Nellis one time. Definately
beautiful. I'd also nominate the P-38.

For singles, probably the Spitfire.
