"Then the 2nd generation jets with TOW guided missiles with 5 mile range would clean up even B-52s."

You do realize that the Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided missile (TOW) as an air to air missle at the very least would not be effective as an aircraft borne weapon. 5 miles of wire in addition to having to keep the enemy aircraft in sight while manuvering.
