The windshield and canopy are fairly unique. The canopy is made up of two windows that slide down into the fuselage on each side. The windshield can be cranked forward 12" so that the seat can move up and forward. This allowed Howard to see over the wing during take off and landing. Since the seat moved up and forward, Howard was still able to reach the rudder pedals.
