Video mentions ( then major )LTC Henry John “Dutch” Deutschendorf (1920 - 1982). Most know his son, Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. by his stage name, John Denver.

Thanks for posting that video link. The external center tank on that beast is almost as big as the fuselage! It looks like it never gets jettisoned, either. The drag from that monster must be tremendous. Could the B-58 get supersonic with that big tank slung underneath? The B-28 fuselage used the Whitcomb Area Rule to reduce the aircraft’s drag at transonic and supersonic speeds. You don’t see the pinched fuselage waist any more because today’s engines are so powerful.
