A-1 Skyraider Cockpit Interior, Instrument Panel and Right Console

The office of a Vietnam-era attack pilot: the A-1 Skyraider's cockpit, dense with analog instruments, toggle switches, and mechanical controls. Despite its WWII-era design, the Skyraider's cockpit layout gave pilots precise control over the aircraft's substantial ordnance load during close air support and rescue escort missions.
