As a kid in San Diego, these drones (and so much of aviation) so impressed my very young mind that today at age 71 their name immediately comes to mind... I probably saw them in my grandfather's National Geographic magazines, in the form of an article, along with those beautiful full color paintings advertisements (also in N Geo).... and of couse our dad being a naval aviator during this period had a big effect. "The Ryan Firebee was a series of target drones developed by the Ryan Aeronautical Company beginning in 1951. It was one of the first jet-propelled drones, and one of the most widely used target drones ever built."
