On August 12, 1944, Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. hoisted himself up into a highly modified B-24 Liberator bomber. The munitions he was carrying that day were 50 percent more powerful than TNT. Kennedy's mission was part of Operation Aphrodite/Project Anvil, a desperate American effort to rescue London from a rain of German V-1 and V-2 missiles. LOST DESTINY is a rare exploration of the origin of today's controversial military drones as well as a searing and unforgettable story of heroism, WWII and the Kennedy dynasty that might have been.
