Can't beat the Amiot 143

Yup that's ugly. [:D] I'd be embarrassed to fly it.

I think this get's my vote so far. Ungainly looking for sure.

Here is another winner (plain ugly)....they should have been shot down on sight (most likely they were[:D])

French Brequet Bre 413

It would never be shot down. The attacking pilots would be laughing so hard they would crash themselves. But, then the plane (the Bricket) would probably crash out of embarrassment anyway.

No, they are outsourced to elves........ [:D]

Awww. Quit being insulting to the elves. Only trolls would take that job.

[RevRick]

Well, there is always this little thingie!!!!

It's not ugly...it is "Big boned". [:D]

Rev Rick's Siamese HE-111 (previous post) was designed to tow the glider version of this plane (The Gigant).

Well, it is not WWII bomber [:)]
Only some protos were built in 1935 and never saw the war.
My vote goes for Martin B-10 also.

[Hornblower]

B-10 for me too, but the B-18 wouldn't win any prizes either..

[wdolson]

If you are restricting the pool to planes that saw action in WW II, I think the Fokker T.IV makes the B-10 and B-18 look sleek and modern by comparison.

For me it'd have to be just about anything French or the Baltimores, just something about the belly w/ the tail end that just doesn't go together.

LOL.

The French do seem to have a true talent for building some butt ugly airplanes, don't they?

[Mynok]

In WWII...they made some very pretty planes in WWI. One wonders if all their designers were shot after the war or something.

[Dili]

In late 30,40's there were making nice designs: Leo 451, Potez 631, Bloch 174.

Tupolev TB-3. It must have been damn cold in those open cockpits.

Ye I think so to, must be the TB3...

[timtom]

Honourable mention to the Blen IV (Bolingbroke this one, but hey...).

...but dang the B-10 hit must'a hit every branch falling out of the ugly tree.

[Hard Sarge]

Hey lets keep to the subject

 The Gigant is a transport, and the He 111Z is a transport tug

(and really, I don't find the He 111 to be a Ugly bomber, unless you watch the bombs falling out of it)

but, the biggest point is, Bombers were not designed or built to be pretty, or win awards, they were built do a job, don't care how ugly it was, if it got you to the target, let you hit the target and then get you back home, you didn't care how ugly it was

( I know a B-24, that had a engine shot out, and two others that had to be feathered, major damage to the plane, 7 of the crew wounded, that plane made it back to base, and landed, to that crew, that planes was the prettest plane to ever fly)

[Nikademus]

Is the Amiot 143 extinct?

[DuckofTindalos]

Too ugly to survive for long...

[pasternakski]

I vote for Katya here...
