[StartQuote] Been reading an extremely interesting book called Unmanned Systems of World War I and II by H.R. Everett. This book includes a great deal of info on the WW2 remotely controlled OSS surface torpedo Hacker-Craft (disguised as fishing boats). The book has so much detailed info, photos and diagrams. What amazes me are the WW1 remotely controlled CMBs and all the different types of remotely controlled torpedoes from WW1 including one that would home in on ship's search lights. The vehicles and aircraft are also fascinating! The book is published my MIT, and as you would expect, is an extremely well researched technical read. While it says WW1 in the title, the work began during the end of the 19th century. Makes today's Unmanned Systems just simple (and somewhat boring) updates since all of the real interesting stuff was done at least 100 years ago, or during WW2. I def recommend this for you techno geeks out there. Will take you down a ton of new rabbit holes! Cheers, Andy [EndQuote]
