Military Pixs: (My old bird) Missile parts being unpackaged and put together on an assembly vehicle. What is not shown is a huge JATO (solid-fuel rocket) bottle dangling under it's tail end at launch.

This was the U.S.'s 'cutting edge' in surface-to-surface technology in 1957. The TM-61C 'Martin Matidor' was the forerunner of the modern cruise missiles. Common guidance technology was to retrack a filmstrip to it's target. Major problem was that a recon aircraft had to RETURN with the film first!
