@drn.newsguy.com: You can't appreciate how cramped the cockpit was until you sit in it. Granted we are simply larger people now but dang, those guys were literally rubbing shoulders for the whole flight. No wonder other twin designs of the era (P-61, A-20, Grumman F7F) opted for a single pilot

No wonder other twin designs of the era (P-61, A-20, Grumman F7F) opted for a single pilot Ya...it was one of the first things I noticed. My father flew them just to get his flight time and pay in the '50s...when he couldn't find something better like a C-47...he hated them! His biggest complaint was their loudness inside...no helmets back then...just earphones. *

My parents complained about how loud the B 26's they flew were but they always said it was pretty roomy for the time.
