Reminds me of a cartoon in Arthur Whitlock's delightful book "Behind the Cockpit Door", which is illustrated with his own drawings.
In the cartoon the 4 crew in the cockpit of a large airliner of the period are busy, heads down, doing the essential 'paper work'.
In the windscreens can be seen, looming in the distance but already obviously higher than the aircraft, snow-covered mountain peaks.
