EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sole prototype of the Fleetwing XPQ-12A, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or radio-controlled target drone, manufactured during the pivotal period of the Second World War in 1942. The image, captured in the United States, reveals the exterior of the aircraft in its pristine condition, parked outdoors against a backdrop of barren terrain. The XPQ-12A was a significant development in the field of aviation technology during the war, designed primarily for target practice and training purposes. Its radio-controlled capabilities enabled pilots to hone their skills in engaging aerial targets without the risk of endangering human lives. The aircraft's sleek design and distinctive features are evident in this image, with its wings folded neatly against the fuselage, and the tail fin and rudder prominently displayed. The XPQ-12A was an essential component of the US military's arsenal during the war, contributing to the advancement of both military aviation and UAV technology. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the technological innovations that shaped the course of history during the Second World War. The image's aged, archival quality adds to its historical significance, making it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on aviation history or the history of the Second World War.
