Abstract Recounts the effort of the Dayton Wright Airplane Company, owned by Charles Kettering, Orville Wright, and group of Dayton businessmen, to produce a pilotless aircraft for use as a flying bomb. It was called the Liberty Eagle but was known as "the Bug." This "cruise missile" was produced in small numbers, but was never used in combat.
