The best looking aircraft is a matter of time and place.

In 1908 I would have expected people marvelling at the lines of the Wright brothers flying machine. Would have gazed in wonder.

During the WW1 troops bogged down under enemy fire would have thought that a flight of Camels straffing the enemy were the greatest looking aircraft.

Similarly in WW2 a flight of Lancasters returning from a bombing raid under attack over the English Channel would have thought a flight of Spitfires coming to their aid was the greatest.

and so on!
