Sat in the cockpit of a Connie once. It scared me how cramped is was and how close the front windscreen panels were to Yr eyes. Lots of view blocked by the narrow windows and supports. Claustrophobic, i’d say.
O heck, flew the B747 for 22 Yrs, forgot how many times I hit the side window mounting screws, trying to look at the outbd engine or wing tip. Being bald wasn’t helpful either 
Hitch hiking once on a B777, I thought this was a ball room.
OK, flying CF6 powered (in total close to 17.000 hrs), I NEVER had to shut down or “lost” one. Round engines too like the Connie :), the best 3-engined a/c as the pilots transatlanticking them called it.
Love the roar however.
