"A conceptual U.S. Navy/Douglas F6D-1 Missileer unleashes two long-range Mach 4.5 Bendix AAM-N-10 Eagle air-to-air missiles. As a Cold War Naval fleet defender, the F6D would patrol well away from the carrier attack group, and defend against enemy bombers. Unfortunately, the F6D-1 Missileer was caught up between the outgoing Eisenhower administration, and the incoming Kennedy administration. The Missileer program was canceled in December 1961.Details in the Phantoms and Crusaders Chapter of, "U.S. Combat Aircraft Fly-Off Competitions", by Erik Simonsen. Published by Specialty Press with a Foreword by USAF historian Dr. Richard Hallion"
