Army demonstrated drones for reconnaisance

 

In the 1950s, the Army demonstrated an unmanned aircraft.  In The Big Picture Pictorial Report No. 17, visitors to Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, saw a launch of the RC-71 Reconnaissance Drone, a 12-foot, 350-pound, remote-controlled aircraft that carried Signal Corps film cameras to deliver reconnaissance within an hour.  See the link at The Big Picture Catalog, or view the video online at Archive.org.
