   I vote the B36 as the "most beautiful". 

   Who can forget the magnificent footage in "Strategic Air Command" with
Jimmy Stewart. Those scenes are inspiring even today.

   What made the big bomber so pretty was that it was so huge yet it's lines
were graceful. The long, upcurving wings in flight, the smooth lines of the
engines and the pencil like fuselage all lended to the picture of ultimate
grace.

  An Albatross on the ground, it was a beauty in flight.
