The ugliest has to be French. There doesn't seem to be much on the internet about French aircraft from the 1930s, probably because they are all so ugle but I did find this site

http://www.airwar.ru/bw2e.html

That's just bombers and in the listings for France there must be at least a dozen candidates for ugliest ever.

Try this one as an example http://www.airwar.ru/enc_e/bww2/mb200.html

Sorry guys, but you obviously don't know exactly what the word 'ugly' means :rofl:.
Look at this one: http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/ju287.html and http://www.luftarchiv.de/index.htm?http ... /ju287.htm. A truly monstruous looking aircraft, well, at least to me :finga: .
