QuoteBecause after viewing the Vickers Valiant in the UK, he decided that it was a more workable arrangement for a heavy bomber aircraft.
Still, the AJ savage had a side-by-side arrangement and a bubble-canopy :wub:
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Heathen!  How dare you suggest that the Great USAF General Curtis LeMay should look at a US Navy design as anything but an abomination!  How could you?  :) :) ;)

The AJ-1 was an abomination, but not in its canopy
QuoteHow could you?  :) :) ;)
It would have provided better visibility and had two pilots for long-flights, the EWO would be pointing aft as it was in the actual B-52
QuoteAll silliness aside the bubble-canopy doesn't look all that much different in shape than the Valiant, except it's got way more visibility.
Big difference though!
