STILL IN SHRINK WRAP AND COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED.HISTORY: In August 1945 the Army Air Forces (AAF) solicited proposals for a subsonic missile with a range of 5,000 miles.

Company president Jack Northrop called the new missile Snark, named after a mythical creature author Lewis Carroll described as part snake and part shark.MODEL: Northrop-built Cold war era intercontinental cruise missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.
