The cockpits and aircraft designed and built during the crisis of World War II, were marvels of technology and ingenuity. However, this book shows that riding behind an ear-shattering engine with the power of a locomotive was both exhilarating and frightening.
This pictorial book looks inside the cockpit of aircraft from 1947 to 1965 from the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, France and the Soviet Union. Featured aircraft includes a pilot's perspective on what it was like to fly.
Classified at the time and largely unpublished since, this book reproduces graphics from the training manuals and posters from World War II. Detailed cutaway drawings of aircraft and weaponry provide a unique insight into the time and strategies of the time.
The diagrams and photographs in this volume enable readers to see close up the cramped, cold, exposed turrets in which so many young men fought and died during World War II. Veterans describe what it was like to fly and fight in the many different turret and gun positions.
