I just remember learning of this growing up in the 50's and early 60's. I grew up in the military, and the subject would come up from time to time. But then, I was also told that our air space was fortified in defense.

USSR nor China could ever invade our airspace.

Decades later 9/11 happened and shattered that myth.
