McDonnell ADM-20 Quail
|
|
|
The
Quail was a decoy missile launched from a B-52
Stratofortress over hostile territory to confuse enemy defenses.
When released to fly under the power of its own turbojet engine, the
Quail appeared on defensive radar screens as another B-52.
The Quail first flew in 1957. |
