Fighting Cockpits 1914-2000: Design and Development of Military Aircraft Cockpits

Rating:
Summary: Very Informative
Review: This very informative book detailed much of the development of military aircraft cockpits. It covered mainly British aircraft and highlighted cockpit ergonomics. It was presented more from a pilot's point of view in that the utility of the cockpit was discussed. I was disappointed that there was not much of the avionics theory of operation. (There was some, but not much). The photographs were excellent. They were mostly black and white but many of the more modern cockpits were displayed in color. Overall, I was satisfied with the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.
