I’m sure you already know this, but the bubble canopy was developed for better visibility for the pilot.

The early versions of both the P-51 and the P-47 suffered from blind spots until the bubble canopy was developed.

The guys from the 4th Fighter Group had to transition directly from the Spitfire to the P-47. Quite a difference.
