This is a tough one Ernie! The only thing that I can come close to fitting the existing clues is the Martin Gorgon cruise missle family. But it doesnt quite fit either....
Maybe the next clue will help. The aircraft existed, it had a pilot, and it was flown. Admittedly, it isn't all that well known. And in one sense, I believe it may be completely unique. Thanks; Ernie P.
What warbird do I describe?
