AGM-12C Bullpup B
Hello All,
Below are several links to photographs and information on the AGM-12C Bullpup B air-to-surface missile (distinctively different in appearance and size from other Bullpup versions), which was designed to carry a 1,000 pound semi-armor-piercing warhead to a greater range (10 miles) than the 7-mile range of other Bullpup versions. A variant of the AGM-12C fitted with a cluster bomb warhead (for use against anti-aircraft sites) was called the AGM-12E. Also, there were at least two variations in the planform of its distinctive, long-chord rear wings, which resembled the fins of the Centuri and Estes Viking model rocket kits. Here are the links: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-12.html http://www.456fis.org/AGM-12_BULLPUP.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-12_Bullpup http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/fa...heet.asp?id=990 http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/agm-12.htm http://www.bocn.co.uk/gallery/showi...C&cutoffdate=-1 (NOTE: The Bullpup missile in this photograph is listed as an AGM-12D, but it has the much wider body of the AGM-12C and the AGM-12C's unusual long-chord rear wings. The rear wings on this missile, however, have slightly clipped tips. Can any Bullpup experts [I am not one] positively identify which variant this missile is?)

The image labeled a 12-D at the BOCN is indeed a 12-C. The clipping on the main fins is also shown on the example from the USAF Armaments Museum at Eglin. Both were labeled as 12-C Bullpup B
