The cutting edge of aerospace technology is the pilotless plane. Many
believe these aircraft could supplant today’s piloted planes. In Robot Warriors:
The Top Secret History of the Pilotless Plane, Hugh McDaid and David Oliver
reveal that pilotless aircraft have been flying for more than 30 years, and were
responsible for “taking out” missile silos during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. A
remarkably enlightening, well-illustrated and up-to-date account of a revolution
that has, until now, been shrouded in secrecy. Published by Orion Media,
£18.99, ISBN 0752810243.
