Summary

Description
English: A D-21 launches from its B-52 carrier aircraft, using a massive rocket booster to accelerate it to a high enough speed for its ramjet engine to operate. Photograph was most likely taken by a crewman in the B-52 that launched the drone. The D-21 program was top secret at the time, ruling out the possibility of a civilian taking the picture.
