Joe and Tom are once again joined by Gregk Foley of Blood Work to talk about the US Army's Operation Aphrodite during WWII. When a bunch of engineers attempted to create the world's first suicide attack drone. It resulted in a series of dead pilots, nearly blowing up several British villages, and one dead Kennedy.
