These sites mention a dart-shaped missile designed by Mr. Michael Gluhareff for Ludington-Griswold company which was then tested by NACA:
"In 1942 Griswold's company had built a wind tunnel model of a dart-shaped missile conceived by Michael Gluhareff, a Russian émigré who was chief of design for the Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft Division of the United Aircraft Corporation; now, in 1944, Griswold was using the results of Vought-Sikorsky tunnel tests with the model to convince the AAF and the NACA that the new missile should be developed."
"Eventually, a wind tunnel model was built; initial tests were encouraging. But the Army declined to follow up due to several other unconventional projects already under way. Fortunately, a business associate of Gluhareff kept the concept alive by using the Dart design, as it was called, as the basis for an air-to-ground glide bomb in 1944."
Is there anything else available about this project?
