Why did the Air forces of back then have prototypes for prone positioning?
I see some aircraft back in the 40s', 50s', and 60s', and some (for example the P-80 (EF-80) and the Gloster Meteor (F.8 Prone Pilot)) and wonder why would people make such an aircraft.
At that time it was considered likely that pilots could withstand higher G forces in the prone position compared to the normal seated position.
