Yes.
What were some of the 1950s or 1960s TV shows that
showed them landing tail down & under power?

The first SF I read all the way through was Rocket Ship Gallileo which
was an airplane that belly landed if there was vacuum.

Well, here is (at about 3:50) a youtube from Flash Gordon 1938
where they also "belly land".
Flash Gordons Trip to Mars Chapter 01 of 15 Part 1 of 2

Perhaps, Space Patrol, this one at 19:49 has a semi crash
that goes in tail first. ?

but it was catapult-launched. I can't find any quick images search
results of the landing.
OK, found Destination Moon (1950)

" Science fiction fans are loving this.
Back in the 1950's and early 60's it was a staple of Sci-fi space
movies to include a group of intrepid explorers in their finned rocket
blasting off from their government base, and landing at their destination
in a similar manner: On it's tail!"

Rocky Jones, Men Into Space (tried very hard for realism--didn't do too
badly for the time), and Tom Corbett (alghouth FX shot were in short
supply and were mostly a V-2) were a few.
Incidentally, in confirming my recollection I came up on a marvelous
early '60s German series, Raumpatrouille, contemporary with Star Trek
TOS, that has an effing gorgeous ship and a captain who makes Captain
Kirk look like a girl scout.

Unless that booster took a lot more damage than it looks like it took,

I first saw that when I was a little kid living in Sweden, dubbed into
Russian and with Swedish subtitles. For a very long time I though it
was a Russian series.
