Исследования Реса Скиннера удостоились премии мира за невероятные эксперименты сороковых годов. Он предложил использовать голубей для наведения ракет на цель. Существующие системы наведения были просто огромными, вытесняя само взрывчатое вещество. Поэтому Скиннер предложил в носовом отсеке размещать трёх голубей.

Птицы должны были клевать силуэт цели на экране, корректируя таким образом движение ракеты. Если цель смещалась к краю левки, в эту сторону экрана возвращали курс обратно. Хотя идея провалилась, она так хватило воображение, что спустя десятилетия награду за него получила его дочь.

Хотя Скиннеру не удалось убедить физиков и инженеров использовать голубиные наведения, до нас дошла его фраза, что дрессировать голубей проще, чем физику.
