Cockpit: An Illustrated History of World War II Aircraft Interiors
A great title suited to the modeler but with enough information to appease the ardent enthusiast. It would even be a good coffee table type and to my eyes is presented a bit that way. Having said that I do not believe it detracts from it in any way. Recommended. (Al BowieHyperScale.com2010-04-14)[reviewed with Gunner] A plethora of wonderful colour images both original and modern ... of such high quality that they yield some excellent information ... The large format wartime colour photos are simply fantastic. Highly recommended for aircraft fanatics and modellers too.

(Air Pictorial)The cockpit photographs are superb ... you can not only read every tiny placard, but see where a mechanic's screwdriver slipped while tightening up an access panel.
