IIRC the A-4 had engine anti-ice and heated windscreen and pitot tube.
No
wing
anti-ice. Don't know about the B-52.

The B-52 uses bleed air to prevent ice build up on the inlets, inlet guide
vanes, EPR inlet probes and, on the H model, the cowling. I'm not sure if
you
can see anything visably though, most of it is internal.

The Argus (ASW aircraft slightly bigger than a C-130) was used in
severe icing conditions (low level over the North Atlantic) and
was well equipped with anti-icing and deicing equipment. They had
huge gas fired heaters (600 BTU each) one for each wing and one
for the tail, plus a 300 BTU one for cabin heating. They also had
numerous anti-ice mats for cowlings and other air-scoops plus
electrical prop deicers and 'Nesa windscreens'. I've flown
through some horrendous icing conditions believe me. The
replacement aircraft for the Argus (P-3 Aurora/Orion) has great
wing anti-icers utilizing engine bleed air, very effective
indeed.
