During WW 2, the Germans used a crude unmanned jet powered bomb- the V-1. This was called a "Doodlebug". They would be launched across the English channel. They would fly a preset direction and time, and then crash into the ground in England, exploding. The accuracy was very poor, they were very fast, and caused a lot of damage when they exploded.
