Cockpit: An Illustrated History of World War II Aircraft Interiors by Nijboer, Donald. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781550463743.

While there is no shortage of books on Second World War fighter aircraft, Cockpit is the first book to take us inside so many of the most revered and feared fighters and bombers of the war, including rare shots of Japanese and German aircraft interiors. Built during the crisis of war, the cockpits and aircraft featured in this book were marvels of technology and ingenuity. A candid "pilots perspective" accompanies the story of each plane. Cockpit offers an unprecedented inside view of these extraordinary airplanes and the men who flew them.
