The Bomarc Missile was part of a joint Canada-US defence program from the late 50s to early 70s. Some fifty-six missiles were in service in Canada, at 446 Squadron, North Bay, Ontario and 447 Squadron, La Macaza, Quebec. It was designed to carry either a conventional or a nuclear warhead. It had a range of about 320 km, speed of up to Mach 2.8. It was launched remotely under NORAD control.
No Bomarc was ever launched in combat. It was retired from service in Canada in 1971
