According to several sources, the Myasishchev 3M Bison had four ejection hatches for the seven crew in the forward compartment. From the vectorsite on the 3M
" All crew sat on downward-firing ejection seats; there were five ejection hatches for seven crew, with a pneumatic system shunting the navigator / bombardier and the two pilots around to fire through the same hatch in succession. "

[/size]I believe he means four hatches for seven crew in the forward compartment, and the fifth hatch for the tail gunner, as he mentions eight crew earlier in the article.

[/size]Any additional details or drawings/photos of the actual arrangement and sequence of ejection would be very much appreciated.
