I can't resist. 

  

 My tail dragger experience is one landing about 1964 in a Cessna 120. I was  going to check out in it, but we fouled a plug and so I never made the second  landing.

  

 However, a partial answer to the visibility on landing problem is to fly an  aircraft carrier approach, steady turn to final. Roll out over the numbers.  If you have ever had the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a WWI fighter you  can understand why it's done that way. The F4U Corsair is the best (or rather  worst) example.

 One tailwheel landing, but 200+ on carriers
