Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master Sergeant Dick Lunders slouched behind the flight engineer's panel, monitoring the airplane's condition, occasionally writing down one of the systems' readings on his flight log.

It was during these events that the adrenaline began to flow and everyone came into a state of total attention to what was happening at the flight engineer's station. Would he e able to take care of the problem, or would there be another statistic to add to the marker designating a lost airplane -- and more importantly -- a lost crew.…
