Description
Photograph of a drawing of a U.S. Air Force SM-62 Northrop Snark, ca.1960. At center, a large rocket ship is visible blasting-off the ground tilting slightly to the left. The darkly-colored ship's main body is nearly cylindrical, except for the pointed nose at its top and rounded bulb at its bottom. Two large wings are attached to the ship with small pointed cylinders beneath the wings. Two large cylindrical containers are seen against the ship's main body. These containers are seen propelling the ship off the ground. In the foreground, a small wooden structure and ladder are visible. In the background, clouds of dark smoke can be seen.
