The Bomarc entered service in 1959, I believe ground-hugging became the
penetration tactic of choice some years after that.


Ever heard of the strike recon squadrons of CF-104's used at NATO
bases
in Europe???? These were ground huggers in the 1960s.


Ever heard of arithmetic? The 1960s would be after 1959.
