I saw the B-52 pic only recently. Yes, it had a small bit of VS sticking up, but more importantly, #1 and #8 engines were well outboard and could be modulated for yaw stability much better than a twin.

Fun: A fighter called for priority landing due to bingo fuel. ATC told him to hold, as they had a B-52 coming in with an engine out.
