Like the title says... what do you think was the ugliest aircraft flying during the 1940’s? Feel free to post/link a suitable photo, too!

Interesting, I agree, for me no standout but for starters the weird Blomm and Voss I think it was, half twin boom aeroplane (can't think how else to describe it) and I know it was quite a performer but the twin engine pusher/puller Dornier that the Germans also came up with, was surely more function over form?

Vickers Wellington with the pressurized cabin:

Airspeed AS-39 Fleet Shadower:

Bell Airacuda:

So ugly, ya gotta love 'em!

The 'Cuda, sir, is a beautiful airplane, you have it in the wrong category. 🙂

The Vultee Vengeance. The Farman bomber. The Fairey Albacore. The Gotha "centipede" transport. The Vickers Albemarle. The TBU-1. The SO3C.

Almost forgot about the Fleet Shadower... I'll add the Ju 287 to the list:

Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley:

Folks:

    Amiot 143, Bloch 200 and other French slabsides. 

     Agree the Zubr takes some beating, but the Airacuda I like!

      Also, what about the russian TB-3? With the zveno "cluster" (aptly named)
