Regional (sp) Denny (the actor in Hollywood) set up a company and
built 'drones' for target practice in WWII.

I doubt if any of the airframes still exist outside of museums?


Wandering around Arlington a few of years ago I noticed in one of the
hangars what looked like a 5/8ths plywood P-40 disassembled on the floor. I
asked the guy in the hanger about it and he said it was a World War II
target drone. It could be flown by a pilot or radio controlled. There was
a fire in that hangar a couple of years ago and I never found out if it
survived or not.
