You have to set different key to jettison (or just click on the red emergency jettison lever in the cockpit, left side, near to normal opener).
There are some aircraft, which have no emergency jettison (Spit, Hurri, Ju87, etc), you have to "open" the canopy instead of "jettison" in these types. This is true for general: before you fly with a plane, look for the original operating instructions, because the management, operation may be different in real life, it may be different in the game too. Best example, the difference between the Ju 88 and He 111 bomb-bay door. The 111 had electronic bomb-bay door, the ju88 had manual crank. In the game, if you fly with He 111, you have to push the "bombay doy opener key" once, but you have keep pushing in Ju 88 until the door open. Small difference, but may confuse the pilot, if he don't know the type, which he fly...
