Kettering Aerial Torpedo “Bug”
Dayton, Ohio -- The Kettering Aerial Torpedo “Bug” on display in the Early Years Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. In 1917 Charles F. Kettering of Dayton, Ohio, invented the unmanned Kettering Aerial Torpedo, nicknamed the "Bug." Launched from a four-wheeled dolly that ran down a portable track, the Bug's system of internal pre-set pneumatic and electrical controls stabilized and guided it toward a target.(U.S. Air Force photo by Ken LaRock)
