Watched this on Nova the other day, the allies attempts to destroy the German super gun. The strory has a technological aspect, a remote controlled drone filled with explosive, remote control with TV feedback, and a badly design circuit that killed the pilot, JFK's older brother. And of course the young engineer that tried to warn about the bad circuit but nobody listen to him. The electronic related stuff starts around 49m mark but the entire episode is fascinating.
