In the fifties, there was the balloon launch project FARSIDE. Not mach 1 at 
start nut no aircraft required. Two stages to 4000 miles. Depending trajectory  
it might make it to orbit (?).

PS: even Minutemen were ignited in mid-air after being ejected from inside 
aeroplanes (C130s?), once upon a time.
