By that I mean planes for which we have written or photographic accounts of their being flown in combat with open canopies. I don't think that many bubbletop Jug or Mustang pilots flew with open canopies, given the speeds and altitudes they usually operated at.

Carrier bourne Mitsubishi Zero's needed an open canopy to land as did their US counterparts (already modelled) and Ki-84's had a raised seat position/open canopy configuration in order to taxi on a runway without crashing into obstacles that the nose of the plane would otherwise hide from the pilot
