Ugliest plane of all time

Wow, that's ugly. Wasn't that on the cover a book about strange planes?

My vote goes to the Westland P12. Back in the early stages of WWII, when
the
British were still afraid of invasion, they designed this as a ground
attack
aircraft. They took a Westland Lysander (already not beautiful) and cut
off the
rear fuselage and empennage. They then grafted on a second wing in place
of the
tail, mounted low with vertical stabilizers on the ends. Looked sort of
like the
tail of a B-24 Liberator. Then they mounted a large turret with two cannon
on
top and to the rear of this second wing.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your
neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
