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
