That looks terrifying
I'm guessing JATO stands for Jet Arse Take Off.

Messerschmitt Me 321 was fitted with rockets
To help with getting air born originally designed as a heavy lift glider. Could carry over 100 fully equipped soldiers or over 20 tons of cargo.
Later models had 6 engines fitted to allow power flights. This was so big that Heinkel had to modify the He111 bomber by removing the right wing gear of one plane and the left wing of the second plane. They were rejoined by a special wing and needed 2 pilots to fly it. Just to get the glider of the ground then used jettisonable rocket packs on a frame made of steel tubing with wooden spars and covered in doped fabric

The JATO Impala
was one of the first big time internet urban legends, but it's been around longer than that.
