I always loved the beauty of the Spitfire along with the ME-109; the Navy’s F-4U; the Japanese Zero and the Wildcat. WWII planes were often things of beauty.

P-51 Mustangs are beautiful, too

WWII planes were often things of beauty.

I read somewhere that Harley Earl, who was a designer at GM, based a lot of his automotive designs on WWII aircraft shapes. That's probably why certain cars are so appealing.

DHG Thanks for the post. AEMILIUS PAULUS It's not only the sight of a Spitfire that's beautiful, of course, but the sound of that Rolls-Royce Merlin engine
