[Young Werther]

Trivial knowledge note! Fleming's Dr No was written after several Snarks went awry. They left the Cape and landed in the Brazilian Jungle instead of the splash down rea of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic.

Good book. Bond, James Bond!

The Snark unlike the Bomarc was never operational since the liquid fueld IRBMs filled the bill in the late 50s until the Atlas came along!

Didn't the Navy have an air breathing missle in the 50's too? I remember something like "Regulus", not sure if that's right though.
