So, people who fly airplanes love cockpits; the places up front where the piloting is done. Just ran across a webpage at the Smithsonian's Air and Space branch that features very cool 360 degree rotatable images of the cockpits of a whole range of iconic air and spacecraft.
The DC3 first flew in the early thirties. For some missions, even now, eighty years later, it's still the best plane available.

The Boeing B52 bomber dates from the early fifties. It has eight jet engines meaning there are a lot of controls and instruments for the pilots to manage.
