Early Handley-Page Victors were quite clam designs and looked like something Buck Rogers would be comfortable in.

Unsightly lumps and bumps grew on it as it worked to keep up with the times.

The Hampden and the Halifax, on the other hand, were never quite that clean, but did look pretty good.

However, my first HP love belongs to the O-series, courtesy Sierra/Dynamix’s Red Baron.

Come on, it looks beautiful.

You’d think that the Victor would be considerably larger than a Vulcan but the answer is quite surprising.

The B-52 is Best Bomber, but the three British “V” planes were simply gorgeous.

That goiter/pelican thing ruins it for me. This is a clean design:

For being such a nutjob, Hughes sure made some pretty planes. I don’t think he was a very good pilot, though.

Looking at that picture, it just struck me how much that looks like an Me 262.
