The OQ-2 Radioplane was the first mass-produced UAV or drone in the United States. The drone was the product of Reginald Denny. He served with the British Royal Flying Corps during World War I and after the war emigrated to the United States to seek his fortunes in Hollywood as an actor. Denny had made a name for himself as an actor and between acting jobs he pursued his interest in radio control model aircraft in the 1930s.
