I've seen that picture earlier... if I remember correctly you can find it in the Fuso chapter of Linkory Vtoroj Mirovoj. A very cool picture indeed, I've always liked the Pagoda conning towers.

Pshhhhhhhhhhitt...

Bloody hell that smokes more than I do.

aaah..... the good smell of half burned aircraft fuel and JATO's in the morning .......... coming from the B-52's little sister.... what else do you want

Ahh... 1950s and early 1960s... Cold War, threat of nuclear annihilation, airplanes leaving trails of thick black smoke, beautiful cars, good music... those were the days...

On a rough calculation, the whole population of New Mexico would have to continually smoke Lucky Strikes for 10,000 years to produce that much atmospheric polution

Actually the black smoke from the engine is a result of the water injection for boosting power for takeoff combined with the Rocket packs installed in the aft fuselage sides to accelerate climb performance.

Reminds me of this demotivational poster I made a while ago;
