wow…the secret is out. “That” really was and is the cockpit of this prototype. it only had “two” switches, “On/Off” and “Up/Down”. the cockpits that are usually seen/photographed with all those dials/gauges, levers, switches were mandated by ALPA to make it look like it’s pilots are a combination of Flash Gordon and Napoleaon.
only highly trained professionals know were the two switches are hidden!

Looks to be true. Check the "Aftermath" in this wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_845
