Even before. The Soviets tried it in 1930s and it even served them well earlier in WWII against Romanians.

In addition to the Goblin fighter, they tried the RF-84 as part of Project FICON, fighter conveyor. Averyone should go to Wright-Patterson Museum and see how big a B-36 really was.

And even earlier with airships in the 1910’s and this around 1925.

And in the US in the 30’s. These tests were described as successful. Hanging under the USS Macon.
