This is an excellent picture of an early model B-47 making a RATO (Rocket assist take off). Early models had the Aerojet liquid-fueled rocket engines located inside the fuselage while later models had external racks with up to 33 - 1,000 Lbs. thrust bottles. Read more about the Aerojet Rocket System. To view short video of a later model takeoff click here. Above photo courtesy of Jim Dame
