Has to be the Consolidated B-24 Liberator; it was referred to as the "packing box the B-17 came in."
It was as hard to handle in the air as it was ugly.

Are you thinking of the old SNL skit titled "What if Eleanor Rosevelt could fly?"; she ends up leading bombing raids over Germany.
Oddly enough, a similar SNL sketch was about what would have happened if Superman grew up in Nazi Germany.

What's wrong with the b-24? I'd consider as sleek, or more so than the fortress. Harder to fly maybe, but definitely a sharper looking AC.ORIGINAL: Joe D.

What if Napoleon had a B-52 at the battle of Waterloo?
