I was 5'11" and couldn't sit straight up in the nose of a B-26 If I did my
flak
helmet would slide down over my eyes. what a pain.

I don't know about any "history" involved, but the cockpit of the 51, the
P40, and the Jug will easily handle a six footer. Of all the prop fighters I
have flown, the F8F was the tightest.

I always love to hear from guys who really flew great stuff. How many different
planes did you fly and how many hours did you stack up? It all adds up to
experience. The more the better.
