I've been looking on Google images for some time, and can't seem to find a decent plan view image of the Hound Dog missile. Anyone else got a decent source? Looking preferably for a line drawing from above, but a photo, or other images would work as well. Nearest I've been able to get to is a paper model of it, that sells for a couple of bucks, and is shown from an angle of about 30 degrees to the rear of directly above. |

Thanks for the try, Terrement, but apparently that isn't it, based upon photos of the 'Dogs on the bombers. I guess the one you've shown could be a prototype, or later project, but not the one I'm looking for, which looks more like this:
I'm not sure the above is right though either, since this one pic of two of them, underneath the belly of a bomber, appear to have the main wings further back on the fuselage, and of a slightly different shape:
There were two production variants though, so perhaps that explains things a bit too, since another pic seems to show the wings further forward, and with wingtips a bit more like these:
The wing tips on the all-white one above seem to be match the production variants shown mounted on the actual B-52 bombers. Note – there is another missile 3-view drawing that crops up in the searches, (at least mine) but it is of a Bomarc surface to air missile, which has its main wings much further forward than the Hound Dog air-to-ground cruise missile. |

Here's the best, closeup, belly shot I've been able to find:

A bit late in getting back to this, coincidentally, exactly one year later (what are the odds of that?), but yes, thank you for the links. They are very helpful. |
