I guess we can agree on something then. Because in the grand scheme of things . It doesnt matter one whit. I shouldnt have let myself get suckered in to a pointless debate, where the only answers are based on hearsay and personal preference. And not on personal experiance.
 But I'm still changing my vote to the  Lanc. Even though it could possibly be the ugliest bomber ever made.

I agree to agree.

LOL.....A man after my own heart!

The Gotha gets my vote! Even the name has a certain ugliness about it!

If this is now a contest for the prettiest bomber, may I remind you that the early B17a-e models were hidious. And the B24's, as stated were rectangles with wings.

So, my vote goes to the Hampden, even though it isn't a heavy bomber, it still looks pretty damn good.

I always thought the Hampden was more like a flying frying pan...

Unless memory serves me wrong, I believe that the B-17 was originally designed to a medium bomber specification

I thought the B-17 was originally for maratime patrol. Seriously.

The (B-17) bomber went through a number of significant changes & alterations in its long career, from the initial prototype (designed as a Coast Patrol aircraft) to the Sentimental Journey's "G" type bomber, to post-war USCG Search & Rescue, to engine testing and much more.

I found this when I was searching for the designation number of  the S&R variant. (RB-17 I think)

I would have to go with the B29 Superfortress.
