When I saw this text, I was hoping for commercial airliners. Cuz I love them and think they're awesome.

Then the picture loaded, and got Flying Douchebags of Death instead.

Wow. Way to slander my country. I'd cuss you out the way I feel right now, but then I'd be banned.

It wasn't aimed at any particular country, not even yours. I hate *all* military planes, no matter which country they're from.

Not all military planes?

I like huge bombers.

and this one with 6 propellers and 4 jet engines. Awesome but impractical as they say.

The B-52 is the sole exception. I actually like that one.

Those are awesome! WWII-era colorized photos?

 

[Monsterzuma]

Not sure if they were taken in color or colored in later. If the coloring was done afterwards it's done very well. My guess is it wasn't.

Here's some from the Great Depression:
