This picture shows the front instrument panel of a Republic F-84F 'Thundrstreak', like the one flown by Richard Back from France in the past century 'sixties, and which is, together with Richard, the characters of his book.
As it's said in the book, 24 dials to watch (some in this panel and the rest in the two side consoles and the two auxiliary panels) and an immense amount of switches and warning lights.
It is a typical instrument panel for the fighters designed from the mid-'forties to the mid-'seventies. Modern fighters (from the F-16 up) have a very different instrument panels
