Back on thread - looks very much like the A5 Vigilante, but would that be too obvious. Maybe even the recon version. Definately 'North American', their designs seem to have a certain similarity.

OK, is it 'North American'?

If not - who left the design ofice and defected with the plans?

With the help of wiki - if I am correct (probably not)

NR-349 Retaliator (a derivative of the A5 vigilante)

Was it developed in parallel with the
Vigilante but never actually put in
service? Part of the same design
"family"?

I remember something but I'm too
lazy to go look.....

I like to do my planning retroactively!

Is it the original concept of the A5, the NAGPAW, aka NA-233. The one with twin fins that was rejected for the single fin variant?
