During World War II, the US military developed a top-secret project called "Project X-Ray" to create a weapon that would use bats as a delivery mechanism for small incendiary bombs, which would be dropped over Japanese cities. The project was proposed by Lytle S. Adams, a dental surgeon who approached the White House with the idea. The team trained the bats to roost in a special container that would be dropped from a plane and developed the incendiary bombs that would be attached to the bats. However, the project ultimately failed due to the unreliability of the bats and delays in the development of the incendiary bombs. The project was cancelled in 1944 due to budget cuts and shifting priorities. Despite its failure, the bat bomb project demonstrated the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the US military during the war.
