Product Description
Product Description
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.

Developed before supersonic designs, the cockpits in this book depict the last generation of aircraft in which pilot could feel totally in control.Cockpit is the first book to take us inside so many of the most famous Allied and Axis fighters and bombers including rare shots of Japanese (Ki-46 Dinah,Kawasaki Ki-100,Kawanishi Shiden-Kai) and German (ME-163 and ME-262) aircraft interiors.An insightful and candid pilot's perspective accompanies the story of each plane."This is your chance to sit in the cockpit.Enjoy".
