JATO or RATO B-29

Jet Assit Take Off or Rocket Assit Take Off being tested somewhere in the Pacific Theatre on a USAAF B-29. They were small rocket engines that could be coupled to the side of aircraft , used to assit in short take offs or when the plane was etremely loaded

My ex-navy(TinCan Sailor) father-in-law says this is probably Saipan or Tinian he was in both places, before and after.
