I like the Sud-Est 100. Not because it changed the world or inspires unmentionable male activity, but because like all things french it was completely bonkers.

But, we, the french, we had the first Crymson's Skies like plane : http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/2-Ai...-10C-2.htm

You can see more here, it is a good website with a lot of "Not-very-well-known-planes" ;o)

Yes, that was bonkers too! So bonkers the Germans tried to complete the project but they couldn't make the thing fly properly. In all fairness though the French did come close to some startling winners. The Bloch 157, tested in 1942 after a long winded completion by the Germans, achieved a level speed of 440mph and certainly raised their unflappable prussian eyebrows.
