Aphrodite: Desperate Mission

In 1944, amid the threat of Nazi attacks on London, the U.S. military launched Operation Aphrodite—a daring, risky plan involving remote-controlled bombers filled with explosives, armed and released to target enemy sites. The operation's story, including the brave volunteers like Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., is vividly reconstructed by author Jack Olsen, highlighting both technological innovation and the tragic human cost of wartime desperation. This compelling account uncovers a largely forgotten chapter of history, blending heroism and tragedy in a gripping narrative.
