Restoring three generations of flight simulators
The 2018 Tony Sale Award for computer conservation has been won by a project to restore three generations of flight simulators. The Center for Technology and Innovation - or Techworks - in the US, has restored a Second World War analogue flight simulator, a 1960s solid-state hardware version and a digital simulator from the 1980s. Susan Sherwood, executive director of Techworks, takes us through the project and explores the early history of flight simulation.
