The Supermarine Spitfire and the de Haviland Mosquito were amongst the
most beautiful airplanes ever produced, IMHO. As an American, I would
rank the above aircraft right up there with the P-51D Mustang, the
B-29, the B-47, P-38, F-86, 707 and SR-71
...and even the P-51D Mustang only achieved immortal fame because of
its British engine - the same engine that powered the Spitfire and the
Mosquito!
Degustibus non disputandem. The Mustang, Mosquito and Spitfire were all
examples of form following function and, thereby, beauties.
