The B-58 went the way of the B-70 for essentially the same reason, ICBM's. By the time the plane reached its target, the war would have been over and done with for an hour! The B-58 had an interesting bombing approach. It would fly over its target, pull up into a vertical climb, release its single bomb (carried externally) and get the hell out. The cockpit arrangement of the B-58 in the movie "Fail Safe" shows side by side seating when in fact the three man crew of the B-58 sat tandem and could not see each other.
