This is a fair take. Those marine drones are doing amazing work.
Somewhere in a timeline with an alternative timeline in Imperial Japan, there's a guy going "what if we didn't have to put pilots in our flying bombs...". And a bean counter is figuring out if that'll save money.
That was actually being developed around that time, just not by the Japanese from what I am aware of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aphrodite
Besides what is in that link, I believe there were several other similar things going on between the USAF(or equiv. I don't think the USAF was formed at the time.) and the RAF.
Nah, boomers here'd be like "That's unfair to us who did it without drones!"
