The exhaust flames are from a rich fuel mixture during takeoff with full power applied.

They “go away” once a 10% lean mixture is established during cruise power settings.

I used to watch those fly over our house as a kid during the 60s, flown by Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada). By the time they went overhead they were only a couple of minutes from their takeoff run at the airport (YVR). During the day you couldn't see the flames but at night they were a propane torch flame blue colour. Same as the DC-6 and DC-7.
