How a “Rejected” American Inventor Built the Machine That Changed World War II
Discover the incredible true story of Charles Kettering, the farm boy who couldn't finish college but went on to hold 186 patents and invent the world's first cruise missile—in 1917.
When the U.S. military asked Kettering to create an unmanned flying bomb for World War I, he assembled a dream team including Orville Wright himself. The result? The Kettering Bug—a revolutionary aerial torpedo that could fly 40 miles and deliver 300 pounds of explosives, all without a pilot.
But there was one problem: it kept crashing.
Despite successful tests, the military rejected it as too unreliable. The project was classified and buried for 20 years. Yet this "failed" invention would become the blueprint for every cruise missile and military drone that followed, helping shape World War II and modern warfare.
This is the story of innovation ahead of its time, the power of persistence, and how one man's rejected invention changed the future of technology forever.
