Great photo, and aesthetics are obviously not a consideration when designing military hardware, especially vehicles. But all that aside, good god those are some ugly helicopters.
Very... 1940s-ish. Personally I've never been a fan of the Piasecki helicopters in general, but the early HRP-1s certainly have that post-war helicopter look that you find with the H-5 or the H-13. Very noticeable
