NP. Just making sure things are clear. The P-38R is my own design for a Reno style racer. Lockheed did experiment with a bubble style canopy though. The P-38 "Swordfish" had the cockpit moved forward, and the section extended on the gondola behind the wings. It never flew with a pure bubble, but with a "birdcage" but this re-design was to make a P-51 bubble style canopy possible. Nothing came of it.
