1: Another thing that struck me is that for no reason I can defend, I
find modern aircraft a lot uglier than WWII planes. I freely admit
"not falling out of the air" and "doing their job better" are much
better metrics than "pretty".

I've always said the Concorde is the only plane I've seen in flight that
actually looks like it was MEANT to fly.

And then of course there's the A-10 Warthog... a plane so ugly the ground
repels it. :-)

....Distant second only to the Habu and the Valkyrie, in that order.

Note, I've never seen those in flight so I'll have to take your word on that
one.
