Every picture I have seen of a G4M while taxiing depicts the captain
standing on his seat looking out of the overhead hatch. What I have
read indicates the Betty had very poor pilot visibility and that the
captain would stand in the hatch and give instructions to the
co-pilot.



A fairly common practice in the bombers
that had hatches.....
