Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago
In 1947 researchers at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton began investigations into the possibility of using missiles for bomber defense as the speed of jets and the weight of gun turrets made existing systems for bomber defense impractical.

By that time, however, work began on the WS-110A project that would result in the North American XB-70 Valkyrie and more ...
