AIR-2 GENIE Patch

The Douglas AIR-2 Genie (formerly MB-1) was the first operational air-to-air nuclear rocket, deployed by the USAF and Canada (1957-1985) to destroy Soviet bomber formations. It was an unguided solid-fuel rocket featuring a 1.5 kiloton W25 nuclear warhead, designed to engage targets from roughly 6 miles away.
