About this title

Synopsis:

The aircraft designed and built during the crisis of war were marvels of technology and ingenuity, but they were hardly built for comfort. Nor did they offer more than a thin sheet of aluminum and glass as protection from the hostile environment at 30,000 feet. COCPIT details the cockpits and aircraft of a classic period in the development and perfection of propeller-driven aircraft and the beginning of jet aviation.
