Check out the New England Air Museum's restoration hangar with this 360 degree panoramic link.

Your on top of the A-26 Invader and can see some of the other projects under restoration.

This is the link to other cockpit 360's, including the B-29, VS-44A,and Lockheed 10.

The VS-44 looks deceptively easy to fly from that Cockpit layout. You wouldn't think that's a 4 engine mega seaplane beyond the extra engine gauges. Thanks for the post Jerry.

Did you notice that the VS-44A's throttle quadrant mounted on the cockpit ceiling looks like an exact copy of a Boeing B-17's set-up, only upside down?
