This is perhaps the finest collection of cockpit photographs in existence. The Museum (NASM) holds the world's premier collection of historic aircraft, but visitors to the museum must maintain a respectful distance. In At the Controls, NASM photographers Eric Long and Mark Avino use creative lighting techniques and an extremely wide-angle lens mounted on a short-bodied, large-format architectural camera to duplicate the sensation of actually being at the controls inside the cockpit of 45 legendary aircraft. The reader experiences a pilot's-eye view of the cockpit. Among the 45 featured aircraft are these history-making planes: Wright Brothers 1903 Flyer Blériot Type XI Fokker D.VII Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VII Focke-Wulf Fw 190F-8 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik Messerschmitt Me 262 Boeing B-29 Enola Gay Sikorsky UH-34D Seahorse Project Apollo Lunar Module Space Shuttle Columbia Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I found this really interesting, with a good variety of aircraft. I did find it a bit hard sometimes to tell what instruments they were referring to—reading this requires a bit of flipping back and forth between the cockpit spread and the text of the essay. The later aircraft essays seemed to be clearer than the earlier aircraft ones in terms of providing signposts for the reader, or maybe by then I was just getting better at spotting landmarks on the instrument panels. Some of the aircraft had zoomed-in pictures that were described as “insets”, but they weren’t always inset, which was a bit confusing, and the inset photos did not have captions accompanying them to explain their relevance—again, requiring some flipping back and forth.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading this book, and it’s making me want to read more about space flight in particular. So I would recommend this to aviation enthusiasts. ( )
