  • Great informaiton about plane cockpits of older craft in the Smithsonian collection.

    This book from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum collection takes the reader into the cockpits of the aircraft. The descriptions of the instrument panel bits/ parts graduate with information through the book. The descriptions of the cockpit uses are likely from records of pilots using the craft & designers creating things. This is the first book of the collection, the second book has more external views and images.
