I didn’t include this in my book 15 Minutes but I found this in the archives. This relates to the short-lived idea of bombers carrying their fighters with them — the B-36 tests are well known but proved no better than hitching a ride using wingtip couplers.
This was for real — as unreal as it looks.

That’s amazing. So my question is, not being a pilot, when did they do the coupling, before or after takeoff? I would assume after?
