Historical Background of the F-101B VOODOO

The McDonnell F-101B Voodoo was a two-seat interceptor that served in the United States Air Force (USAF) from the late 1950s until the 1970s. This aircraft was used primarily by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) as a key component of North American air defense during the Cold War, including the Cuban Missile Crisis. The F-101B was widely used by the USA and briefly served in the Canadian Air Force as the CF-101. Its speed, powerful weaponry, and capability to carry AIR-2 Genie rockets with nuclear warheads made it a formidable adversary against potential Soviet bombers.
