Churchill made last February %
saying, There is no doubt the
Germans are preparing on the
French shore new means of at
tack on this country either by
pilotless aircraft or possibly rockets
or both
A section along the Pas-de Calais
coast has been pounded almost in
cessantly by British and American
air forces since late last year in
attacks generally believed to have
been aimed at installations for
Launching or controlling rockets or
pilotless planes.
The Germans already have used
in this war radio-controlled
glider bomb, mainly against ships
guiding it usually by aircraft which
released it at great height, usually
several miles from the target.
Radio-controlled planes have been
used by several nations before the
war. mainly as targets for gunners.
Their control always has been on a
visual basis. The Germans may
have evolved some automatic device
to set the course before the takeoff
or to control the plane remotely.
In January some Stockholm
sources reported pilotless aircraft
being built as an invasion counter
measure They were described then
as small, single-engined planes
launched with the aid of a cata-
pault and steered by radio.
