This one always wins the award for
Ugliest Airplane In History.



With a few rare exceptions like the Spitfire, British aviation has a
long history ugly aircraft...but then "beauty is in the eye of the
beholder"

"When it comes to producing ugly airplanes, no one nation has the
edge. But some do have specialties. National Air and Space Museum
archivist Brian Nicklas has formulated Nicklas’ Law of Aircraft
Identification, whereby: “If it’s ugly, it’s British; if it’s weird,
it’s French; and if it’s ugly and weird, it’s Russian.”"



Russia has had some doozies, to be sure.
