Post your photos here! I vote for the Amiot 143.

Details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiot_143M

Stealing the picture posted elsewhere by DandricSturm, my vote goes to the BV.141

I always thought the U-1 Otter was exceedingly unattractive.


Have to admit that BV.141 looks like something from a movie like "Flight of the Pheonix."

Another painfully obvious (and French) candidate, the Bloch MB. 200:

ugh...gotta admit the Bloch MB. 200 is up there with the Amiot 143.

What happened in France in the 1930's... did they take LSD or just look at too many Picasso exhibitions?

I kind of dig the Otter.

We use them for fly-in fishing up in Ontario still, I was able to take the controls over this summers trip for a good amount of time. Guess all the years of my begging the bush pilot finally paid off (American cigaretts didn't hurt) [:D]


Anyway the Walrus has to rank with the ugliest top ten

Not sure what it was, but it eventually wore off. Here's the Amiot 354:

Even the ugliest aircraft has some appeal.

I've always been fond of the following

But this is my absolute top favorite ugly aircraft...

Never understood why people have such a big problem with the Barracuda; compared to some of the flying outhouses pictured here, it's poetry in motion...

??????????????????????????????????????

Not sure how whether Xperimental aircraft are valid in this category. Quite often they are built to test an individual feature eg dihedral wings, and the rest of the aircraft is bolted on afterwards with cosmetic issues waiting until the bugs are sorted out in the airframe. I'd suggest the category should be limited to production aircraft... or maybe start a seperate category for XP units.

And I agree the Barracuda was born ugly

Actually I like the Defiant also... but I can't figure out why the closest one has a bent starboard wing [&:]

ok... its a pitot tube... but it had me going for a while before I figured it [:)]

I'd have to vote for the Italian CA:60


Or the Junkers 287
