Only thing I can think of they had besides v2 (not technically a drone I guess cuz was self-guided) was the little remote control mine. As I recall that was a dismal failure. It was wire guided. Might have been useful if it was wwI I suppose.I wonder how World War 2 would have been fought if all sides had drones back then?
The Goliath Tracked Mine, The Miniature Tank For Killing Tanks.
The Goliath tracked mine vehicle was a lesser-known anti-tank destroyer in WWII. It didn't catch on, but here's why it's important!

Oh I forgot there was that remote control b17 that John f Kennedy's older brother died flying.
Edit: just looked at a mark Felton video on it and it was a b-24 which were also rigged as radio controlled flying bombs same as some aging b-17s. This video reminded me there is a whole documentary somewhere on Joe jr Kennedy (can't remember where Amazon prime maybe) and they went into great detail on the specific circumstances of failure for Kennedy's plane. It was a safety switch for the radio control. As I understand it Joe Kennedy Jr had been groomed to be president from birth. They only switched to JFK after Joe Jr died. JFK went on a crash course of how to charm people etc. JFKs father could not believe the transformation of JFK in dealing with people.
Edit: probably if u Google it there will be lots of obscure ones, like this:
Also I seem to recall some type of remote controlled mini sub. Maybe it was from a mark felton video, I can't recall. I seem to recall it was wire guided also but not sure.
