I had the opportunity to sit in one recently and simply looked at the flap indicator. Also, photos of war-time F6F cockpits show the same indicator, with the various flap settings (a pointer aligns with the marks on the indicator face). Even Dean's "America's Hundred Thousand" defines different settings for takeoff and landing, as well as showing the indicator.
