I am curious about this photo. Did part of the left verticle fin & rudder
fall off of the aircraft in flight? Was the image altered for some security
reason?, Or perhaps the photo shows a partial failure of a first generation
"cloaking" device.

Just curious why more than half of the left verticle fin is missing.

I love the shot of the B-58, and XB-70.

I don't think that it's missing, just covered by the shadow of the
right vertical fin. A trick of the perspective and lighting, but I
think the shadow is just the right shape from that angle and the
lighting makes the shadowed white left fin blend into the background
sky.
