Douglas A-1 Skyraider Cockpit Instrument Panel Detail
The business end of the A-1 Skyraider: a cluster of analog gauges including torque, altitude, airspeed, and attitude instruments. Pilots relied on this dense, all-mechanical panel to fly demanding low-altitude close air support and rescue escort missions over Laos and Vietnam, often in poor weather and under fire.
