I think it's fair to say that some of the most aesthetically pleasing aircraft of all time were manufactured in Britain during the 'between wars' years of the 1920s and 1930s. The Hawker Fury and her biplane sisters, for example, epitomise style and sleek lines. It's also true that these machines had very complex structures, with fuselage tubing and pressings that took countless hours to produce. Expensive and difficult to make in the 1920s and 1930s, today they are not far from impossible to replicate. Perhaps this is why so few biplane fighters and bombers from that era have been rebuilt over the years.
