• Resumen

  • This article discusses research into the use of pigeons to guide the trajectories of missile systems. This idea, which was developed by the behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner, was tested by the U.S. military in the 1950s. The story of this plan is drawn from the book "Superdove: How the Pigeon Took Manhattan ... And the World" by Courtney Humphries.
