I believe it's an early look at a recoverable first stage, in this case an Atlas rocket with wings and jet engines added for fly-back.

Awesome. Simply awesome. But I wonder, how could the Atlas ultra-thin balloon tanks support all this heavy aircraft stuff ?
Interestingly enough Martin proposed a winged Titan more or less at the time.
