Uh, speaking of A-26...if I'm a bomber builder in the 21st century...why do I need a glass nose? So the bombadier can see where he's going? So the navigator can get a good shot for his sextant?

Cause it looks cool? Or perhaps the windows were just in the stolen plans and nobody knew how to change it.

Who knows... maybe the commie bombardiers held out for a solarium.

So the navigator can guide the pilot to the runway when landing through the pollution in Beijing.
