Why is is called a Cockpit
Cockpit first appeared in the English language in the 1580s, "a pit for fighting cocks", from cock + pit. Used in nautical sense (1706) for midshipmen's compartment below decks; transferred to airplanes (1914) and to cars (1930s).

Interesting pov. These black and white photos of old planes make me think of old WWII movies. Cool.
