Snark attack

Published:

Description

Another one of those short lived ideas by the US military in the 50's. As the new fleet of ICBM's were slow coming they developed this rocket launched, jet engined beast. What they ended up with was a very large, slow nuclear cruise missile that was out of service only months after becoming fully operational. Many were lost during test due to the advance celestial navigation just doing its own thing. One is supposed to have vanished into the Brazilian jungle and the waters of the Caribbean are said to be Snark infested.
Part of a series of images shot at the Strategic Air and Space Museum Nebraska. You can read about this aircraft and others on their website.
