All New Material!By CustomerI kept waiting for someone to write a review that answered my biggest question......was this a new book or a compilation of images from Donalds other 3 cockpit photography books. I ended up biting the bullet and just ordering the book. Thankfully this book is about 90% new material. The cockpits that were featured in earlier books that are repeated in this book are at least photos from different angles than in the previous books. My fears were alleviated! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested cockpits or planes in general and to fans of Donald Nijboer this is a welcome addition to his other 3 books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Chris BarberSon loved it! Well done0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Warbirds From The Pilots PespectiveBy James Gallenldquo;Fighting Cockpitsrdquo; is another of Quartro Publishingsrsquo; oversized. illustrated coffee table books. This one focuses on famous Warbirds from World War I to the present. primarily from the pilotrsquo;s viewpoint. Each of the 51 featured aircraft has its own two to four page entry that contains the title of the model. a color photo of its cockpit as displayed in a contemporary museum. a description of the planersquo;s history and usually the Pilotrsquo;s Impressions written by a modern pilot who has flown the model. On the later pages of the sections are diagrams or pictures of the planes. either on land or in the air. sometimes with the men who flew them. The photos really add a lot. Aircraft from several nations and many manufacturers are included.As I advanced through the book I noticed the progressively more complex cockpits with more dials that eventually gave way to touch screen controls. I enjoyed the pilotsrsquo; comments about the strengths and limitations of the various aircraft. The visual limitations from upper wings of bi-planes and the varying comfort levels of the pilotsrsquo; seats were things that I had not thought of before.I appreciated being introduced to the many warbirds covered in this work. Quit a few of the aircraft pictured are on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton. When I travel there or to other air museums I will be looking for some of the details I have read about in this book. This is one I will keep handy. As encounter references to airplanes in other military histories I am sure that I will pull ldquo;Fighting Cockpitsrdquo; off the shelf for a refresher on the aircraft about which I am reading. I am sure you will enjoy the text and pictures in this tome as much as I have.I did win a free copy of this book in a drawing.
