Fred Wallace served in the US Navy as a Naval Enlisted Pilot (NAP) and was instrumental in the development and testing of drones and UAVs.  He piloted the first drone, in 1937, from a control cart on the ground.  This collection documents Wallace’s life as a fleet NAP, as well as early drone and UAV development.
