The wreckage of three "unmanned high-altitude reconnaissance" aircraft
shot
down over the PRC. A total of 17 such aircraft were claimed by the PRC.

I have no date for the picture, nor any ID for the aircraft. It looks
like a
Regulus to me but I don't know if these were ever used for reconnaissance
work (or indeed how high they could fly). Sent to test air defences?

Can anyone here help?

Ryan Firebee possibly ?


They were used in Vietnam for recon work and more than a few returned with
additional holes.
