Description

Climb inside the cockpits of the worlds most famous military aircraft from World War I; World War II to the present day!What was it like to sit in the pilots seat and take control of a P-51 Mustang in World War II? What about an F-14 Tomcat at the height of the Cold War? Or a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor today? The cockpits of these fighter and bomber aircraft are revealed in Fighting Cockpits. Showcasing more than 50 of the worlds most famous combat cockpits from early World War I aircraft to present-day fighters; this book includes more than 200 rich color photos from photographer Dan Patterson; as well as detailed history about combat cockpit development from aviation expert and historian Donald Nijboer.In the beginning of the twentieth century; aircraft had open cockpits. Pilots during World War I had to bundle up with fleece-lined leather coats; sheepskin thigh boots; and woolen underclothing to avoid freezing in the cold air four miles up. There was no heating; no oxygen for high flying; no retractable undercarriage; no engine starter; no radio links with air or ground; no brakes to help with landing; and no parachutes. The pilot was afforded merely left and right foot pedals to control the rudder and a single central control stick to cause the nose of the plane to pitch up or down. Since then; the cockpits of fighters and bombers have seen quite an evolution; and the chronology is represented in Fighting Cockpits. Presented in large-format volume; this book will complete any history buff or aviation enthusiasts library.Aircraft includes...Wind in the Wires: Nieuport 28; Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5; Bristol F.2; Fokker Dr.I; Sopwith Camel; Sopwith Triplane; AEG G.IV; SPAD VII; Halberstadt CL.IV; Fokker D.VIIThe Rise of the Monoplane: Martin MB-2; Hawker Hind; Fiat CR.32; Boeing P-26 Peashooter; Curtiss F9C; Sparrowhawk; Vought SB2U Vindicator; Westland Lysander; PZL P.11World War II: Supermarine Spitfire; Messerschmitt Bf 109; Republic P-47 Thunderbolt; North American P-51 Mustang; Handley Page Halifax; Vickers Wellington; Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Wurger; Fairey Firefly; Fiat CR.42; Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik; Heinkel He 219 Uhu; Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu; Curtiss SB2C Helldiver; Northrop P-61 Black Widow; Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress; Boeing B-29 Superfortress; Dornier Do 335 Pfeil; Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe; Arado Ar 234 BlitzCold War to the Present: North American F-86 Sabre; Boeing B-52 Stratofortress; Grumman A-6 Intruder; General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark; Hawker Siddeley Harrier; McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F-15 Eagle; Grumman F-14 Tomcat; Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II; General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon; Mikoyan MiG-29; Rockwell B-1 Lancer; Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk; Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor; Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter
