Air Forces Hail Flight of Drones
In a historic unmanned flight from Hilo Hawaii to Muroc California, Brig. Gen. William L. Richardson called the event a forerunner of precise long range guided missiles with atomic warheads. He said the test showed the air force could hit distant targets with conventional bombers, and noted the Manhattan project has not yet defined practical warhead sizes. The 2500 mile flight surpassed routes like Fairbanks to Murmansk and Honolulu to San Francisco, illustrating potential global reach for guided missiles.
