The nose of the XB-47.

The paint has started peeling off of some of the panel, revealing that the panels are actually Plexiglas.

Vintage photos of the 6065 and 6066 (the two XB-47s) show that the two smaller panels at aft were windows, but show the two aircraft with a clear nose, without the typical B-47 protuberances.
