Americas early guided missiles... utilising three Pigeons, yup you heard it correct.
Skinner was the developer of Behaviourist Theory, which stated that all animals, including humans, were essentially machines which could be controlled by giving them the right stimulus. They could be forced to behave in a given way by creating 'conditioned responses'. This theory is why the Government has a 'nudge unit', and why we get so much propaganda to train us into behaving in the way the Government wants....

I heard that the Russian dog-bombs probably failed because they were trained to crawl under tanks successfully.
But, the training was done with Russian tanks which make a different noise (Russian engines) to German tanks (German engines) so when released they turned around and ran back towards the tanks that made the noise they'd been trained for.
