NEW YORK - Things are droning on at the Intrepid Museum, but we're not talking about a boring speech.
Unmanned aircraft from the World War II era, the 1960s, and the Gulf War are on display, along with rare photos and footage documenting the development of drone technology.
While many think of drones as a new phenomenon, the concept of them actually dates back close to 100 years.
Even Marylin Monroe has a connection to the history of drones.
"She worked for the Denny Plane company, who were making target drones for the Navy at the time. So a little bit of culture in there, and there's a lot of pop culture in there as you know," said Intrepid Museum Curator of Aviation Eric Boehm.
The exhibit also looks into civilian and commercial applications for drones.
