it could be that B-58 had survive in into 1980s

according some post about F-111 in this Forum

it seems the B-58 was extensiv in build, but was cheaper in operations, compare to B-52

and McNamara killed the B-58 in preference of his beloved F-111


Without McNamara the B-58 could remain in Operation on cost of B-52 feet, until B-1 is operational.

Maybe even order B-58C or D versions during 1960s

But that depend who become secretary of Defence under Kennedy or Nixon as President in 1960.
