JATO (acronym for jet-assisted take off), is a type of assisted take-off for helping overloaded aircraft into the air by providing additional thrust in the form of small rockets.  This rare film from 1963 was created in the aftermath of a fatal accident involving a mis-handled JATO rocket.  In it, an Air Force safety officer lectures about JATO bottles, how they should be handled, and how they can be safely used.  The B-47 Stratojet aircraft is featured.
