Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The first prototype B-36 also had a conventional cockpit canopy arrangement
In fact, it’s kind of hard to figure out why the production one had the bubble-type canopy, as none of the gun turrets were sighted from there.
The only thing I can think of it that it might make it easier to see the ground on taxi.
