Description
The book relates in detail the then "secret" research, development and combat employment of these early guided bombs, missiles and drones from 1917 to 1950. Using formerly secret/confidential manuals, reports, microfilm printouts and photos collected over forty years, William Wolf gives a detailed look at this unknown topic that progressed from biplane drones to sophisticated post-Second World War guided missiles. Among the subjects discussed are Sperrys aerial torpedo and the Kettering Bug of the First World War to early rudimentary GB Series glide bombs to the more sophisticated VB Series that evolved from radio, heat, light or television guidance.
