Gen. Washington’s diary entry for Oct 19, 1781:
19th. In the Morning early I had them copied and sent word to Lord Cornwallis that I expected to have them signed at 11 Oclock and that the Garrison would March out at two O’clock—both of which were accordingly done.1 Two redoubts on the Enemys left being possessed (the one by a detachment of French Grenadiers, & the other by American Infantry) with orders to prevent all intercourse between the army & Country and the Town—while Officers in the several departments were employed in taking acct. of the public Stores &ca.
A German remote controlled drone sank a U.S. troop ship in the Mediterranean during WWII. We kept the results secret until the end of the war, maybe even longer.
Also, the US would take worn out B-24s, fit them with remote control flying equipment, fill them with explosives, and have a crew of two pilots fly them near the target, engage the r/c from a shadowing aircraft, and bail out.
The flying bomb would then be flown into a hardened target.

The Germans used this type of weapon first.

It is also odd that “spread spectrum” radio transmission was invented in WWII by the beautiful movie actress Heady Lamar. She was secretly an electronics engineer. The Navy did not use her invention until long after the war.
Yorktown did not ‘effectively’ end the American Revolution. British troops did not evacuate several cities until 1783. Frontier forts, like Detroit, remained occupied until after ratification of the Constitution.
