Could be.  I found a documentation trail to 1957 with a cancellation
in 1963.  OF course, phase out wouldn't have been instantaneous.

Hmmm ... T-29.  Convair 240?  Sounds right, or at least that series of
aircraft.

The closest I ever got to that was a brief introduction to the theory
in passing.  I'd forgotten until you mentioned it.
