Doesn't that Strange Handsome Ugly tag fit an awful lot of FAA stuff: Gannet, Wyvern, Roc, Barracuda, Bucaneer....
Actually, as far as ugly goes, I think the French have it nailed.
Actual captions in a couple of my books:
History of Military Aviation, Bill Gunston:
"The Farman F221 heavy bomber was one of many French aircraft of astonishing ugliness."
The World Encyclopedia of Bombers, Francis Crosby:
"The Amiot 143 was probably the ugliest aircraft produced by a nation known for its appreciation of fine forms."
