Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) bottles were, IIRC, harnessed on to various military aircraft particularly in the early '60s.
Their purpose, again, IIRC, was to facilitate STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) before aviation technology allowed such a procedure. The advent of such aircraft as the Herc and Buffalo (STOL capable) pretty well doomed the JATO application. FWIW
