Maybe the glass nose later on down the road but not the smaller windows towards the bottom. (to my knowledge)

Jack, go to Tuilo's thread from Saturday, June 7 about the West Houston Executive fly in, this forum. The eighth photo shows the figgen nose and little side windows, down low. Nice B-17 pix in the early morning light.
