Bloch aircraft of the 1930's are really not bad looking at all given the styling of that time. Also, all were propeller driven.
When they went to the Dassault name, they built jets which are usually much slicker.
Dassault jets were the Ouragan, Mystere, Super Mystere, Mirage, Rafal and some lesser known in between.
The real good looking jet was the Mirage 3 and its variants ( in my opinion ).
But then again, airplanes are built for a purpose and not a beauty contest.
