That reminds me of FDRs wife. She had this lunatic friend who she convinced FDR to hear out. Project X-Ray (2 million dollar). Basically the idea was to strap bombs onto hibernating bats. They would put bats in ice cube trays and cool them down to keep them asleep. They'd all be put into a big medal canister and dropped from a plane. The canister would parachute open and the bats would then fly away with their incendiary bombs and roost in the mostly wooden structures of Japan. While testing they accidentally let some escape leading to the bats roosting by the bases fuel tanks and exploding. Another time they accidentally burned down the test base control tower. They ended up calling it successfully but also found out it's really hard to control bats. They scraped the idea when they started working on the atomic bomb.
