British Watch Pilotless Planes Reported Over Southern England
The Home Secretary Herbert Morrison spoke in the House of Commons about new pilotless aircraft after thousands saw a long slender explosive laden drone streaking across southern England. Crowds, especially schoolboys, gathered to witness its flight and collect souvenirs while officials note several had been destroyed before detonation. The piece also recalls Churchill's warning of rocket and drone risks from Pas de Calais and mentions General Bradley's airborne presence with troops amid shelling.
