The Measurement of the Field of View from Airplane Cockpits
A 1936 NASA technical report, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server, that measures how much a pilot can see from different airplane cockpits. Its pictures pair photographs of aircraft on the ground with polar diagrams plotting the pilot's field of view in flight and landing attitudes. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic style of the radial grid charts and the stark black-and-white aircraft photographs.
