Discover Project X-Ray! 🦇💣 This experimental WWII US weapon involved thousands of hibernating Mexican free-tailed bats, each with a small incendiary bomb. Designed to be deployed over Japanese cities, the bats would theoretically roost in attics, igniting fires. Conceived by a dental surgeon, tests in 1943 showed it was effective on mock villages. But Fleet Admiral King canceled the "Bat Bomb" when he learned it wouldn't be ready until mid-1945. A truly bizarre chapter of wartime innovation! #ProjectXRay #BatBomb #WWIIWeapons #HistoryShorts #Craig #WW2Secrets #MilitaryHistory #WartimeInnovation #JapaneseCities #USMilitary #WorldWar2 #ExperimentalWeapons #LytleSAdams #MilitaryTechnology #BizarreWeapons
