Missiles And Guided Munitions

The AIM-26 Falcon was a larger, more powerful version of the AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missile, built by Hughes. It is the only guided American air-to-air missile ever produced with a nuclear warhead, though the unguided AIR-2 Genie rocket was also armed with a nuclear warhead.
