but have a look here; some excellent footage. As can bee seen in a number of cases here, like in the picture you posted, the fire is quite large and violent, but there is little smoke.

This one is much more interesting:

In many cases, the fire is as violent and explosive, but also in some cases the thick black smoke can be seen. However, this is quite rare to last for a long time, and in most cases the smoke is not too thick and large.

No one sample of low octan fuel that was common for German planes of that time.

We have diferent dencity of smoke for different situations. You will see it in future.
