The B36 had two straight pipe turbojet engines  slung under each wing
tip for a total of ten, if memory serves.  Quite a piece of

machinery!!

Prior to takeoff, the pilot would query the flight engineer as to the
engine's status.  The flight engineer's standard response was "Six
turnin' and four burnin'!"

 I believe we used the same engines in the B-47E,
Six GE J-47's with 6k thrust each, augmented
with water-alcohol. My, we have come a long way.

Not only the same engines it was the same dual pylons without the outriggers.
