Myers, who had flown combat missions in both World War II and the Korean War, was on a one-man mission to sell his concept for a small, radar-evading aircraft inspired by an invisible rabbit named Harvey. In the 1950 James Stewart movie of the same name, Harvey was a six-foot-tall “pooka,” a mythical creature only the protagonist could see. Myers’s pooka was much like Stewart’s—an invisible plane, or a “stealth aircraft.”
