Gargoyle Guided Missile

The McDonnell LBD-1 Gargoyle was an American air-to-surface guided rocket missile developed during World War II. Produced from 1944 and tested until 1947. Never saw combat. I don't see why they put insignias on these things, but they did.

 

At the New Mexico Space Museum, located on a hill just east of Alamogordo, New Mexico. This state celebrates having played a pivotal role in the development of rocketry, both for science and for war. I visited this place on February 26, 2016.
