Must be a Shoe
That was how the T-28 was air conditioned on hot days. The T-34C with a canopy open is part of an EP, since the exhaust flow into the cockpit makes for CO levels going up a bit, and forcing an O2 mask donning. T-34C's do not routinely operate with the canopy open.
I spent a few years as a 34 IP, trust me on that one.
