Humans began carpet bombing just as soon as we had planes that could carry enough shells. Hell, we were throwing hand grenades out biplanes soon as we got in the air.
It's true that intense bombing was done before, but the intensity of bombing in Vietnam and surrounding countries was unprecedented and some of the most intensive of that bombing was done under the command of Nixon.
To call Nixon the 'father' of carpet bombing is, of course, hyperbole, but the exaggeration isn't extreme.
