Profile Publications No. 083: Boeing B-47 (RCL#2163)
"For those B-47s equipped to carry atomic bombs, a special colour scheme was developed. This is an all-white coating for the undersurfaces and the lower half of the fuselage. Its purpose is to reflect the heat and radiation of an atomic blast, thereby protecting the aircraft structure to a degree."
