Re: FW-190A-8's

some late A8's did come with the bubble canopy

You're correct, sir!

The Histoire & Collections Fw-190, pg. 44.. shows an example of an A8 'Red 3' "Edelweiss" Kampfgeschwader 51 code '9K' on the fuselage was to convert to the Me-262 jet fighter. The Anton A8 fitted with the rounded canopy and found at Bad Aibling in May 1945 was assigned as squadron protection unit for the jets.
