Default Curious question to the group.

So.... I'm curious as to how the JATO rockets were developed and where
they were first used.

Looking at those famous pix of a B-47 using them for takeoff assistance
made me kinda curious.

Now it is a bit of a trick question.... so have at it.


That picture interests me as we saw them all day and every day at Brize
Norton, when we were kids. Some were carried externally but some had
them carried internally. Why apart from developmental reasons ?
