It seems to be a guided or semi guided weapon, no idea what is.

It looks like a Tiny Tim air to ground unguided rocket.

Obviously it is a V2 launched by some ultra rich warbird crowd, considering this is a WWII forum, must be the only answer.

Doing a quick google search seems Mr davparlr is right.

Is a free trajectory weapon, for some reason reason I believed it was guided.
Quite interesting the trapecial launching device in the F4U.

It made me think what would the Stuka had done if it had been equiped with such.

Wouldn't fancy a hang up with a thing like that.
