These have been reproduced in black and white (Jay Miller’s book on the B-58 comes to mind), but I don’t think they’ve been published in color yet. They are screenshots from a film at the National Archives. Specifically, they are screenshots from a DVD, the DVD taken from a VHS, the VHS taken from the film. Feh.

  1. They aren’t in the second edition of Miller’s B-58 book.
    I note it is carrying the rocket-boosted belly fuel/bomb pod that was later dropped for the B-58.
    A friend of mine had a model B-58 that had that pod on it, although I don’t know who the manufacturer of the model was.
