“Having spent most of my life in the cockpit, I am well acquainted with the sheer magnificence of these machines. World War II ushered in a new era in aviation and military technology, and this book gives an exclusive look into some of the most famous planes in the history of flight.” — Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger
The follow-up to 2008’s In the Cockpit, this gorgeously designed book focuses specifically on the interiors of World War II aircraft. In the Cockpit II features rare aircrafts from the Smithsonian’s collection and a visual viewpoint of cockpits that museum goers never get to see, plus a foreword by distinguished pilot Robert A. Hoover. A perfect gift for Father’s Day and holidays!

Roger Connor has curated the Vertical Flight and Instrument and Avionics collections at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum since 2002. As a former multi-engine and instrument airplane instructor and private pilot examiner for Great Britain’s CAA, he has accumulated nearly 4,000 flight hours in land planes, sea planes, and helicopters. Dik Alan Daso is curator of modern military aircraft at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. He also is co-curator for The Price of Freedom: Americans at War, a permanent exhibition at the National Museum of American History that opened in November 2004.
In the Cockpit II: Inside History-Making Aircraft of World War II provides close-up access to the instrument panels, controls, and crew stations of 34 legendary World War II aircraft in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's impressive collection. Using a high-end digital camera with a wide-angle lens and complex shooting techniques that combine digital precision with manual dexterity, photographers Eric F. Long and Mark A. Avino expertly capture every detail of the cockpits, bringing them to life as never before. Insightful text by Smithsonian curators Roger D. Connor and Christopher T. Moore place each cockpit in historical context.
