I'm struggling a bit between "best" and "prettiest", also thinking that from the list given, the Swordfish probably gets it for its contributions and durability. I often claim the Swordfish (usually when people ask about the plane on my Swordfish t-shirt from the Canadian Aviation Museum) is my personal parallel – obsolete before it started but outlasted everything built to replace it… On the other hand, the Hawker Hart/Hind family is too cool for school in terms of looks, and the P-6 and Sparrowhawk also score highly in that category. |
