Its the Spitfire, hands down! 
- Shawn | If you mean the Spitfire MK.I/hydro (Type 342 ) a hybrid seaplane with twin floats, you may have a point. As I understand it, the RAF was so taken aback by this plane's looks that they hurriedly scrapped it. But then there is the even less well-known experiment the U.S. Army Air Force carried with an early P-51. This attempted to modify the Mustang for hard landings on dirt strips and mated it with fixed main wheels, including spats, from a captured Stuka.
