The U.S. Military Used B-17 “Drones” That Bombed Nazi Germany
A human pilot still needed to guide the planes and so had to hastily bail out before getting close to target!

When it came to advanced military technology in World War II, arguably no one was better at it than Nazi Germany, whose scientists Adolf Hitler keep busy trying to invent the ultimate “super weapon” capable of defeating his enemies.
