leading edge of the wing transparent. The passengers were seated in a
theater-like arrangement and could see where the plane was headed.
Imagine very nervous fliers when the plane pops into a cloud?

A crosswind landing would be worse. A few years ago I flew in a SAS
plane with a forward-looking camera installed. Passengers could see
everything pilots saw. I loved it, but I can understand why it was
discontinued. For someone who never piloted anything it IS scary when
the plane is pointed away form the airport.
