The Stratocruiser also had the double bubble and in fact design studies to develop it into a swept wing jet transport led to the 367-80 "707" prototype, which retained the same diameter upper bubble as the Stratocruiser. The upper bubble width was increased for the C-135 and again for the 707 so there was space for six abreast seating.

Sad that I never flew on a 707/720.
