I have a vague recollection of reasding somehwere that a lash-up
jamming system involving tuning to the VHF guidance channel and using
an electric razor as the jamming source actually worked. Whether the
razor's noise was used to feed a mike or they actually wired the hash
from its drive system to modulate the VHF signal - I can't remember. I
do have some books with pictures of WW2 ships with jamming antennae on
the yardarms.
FWIW the USN used radar guided glide bombs against Japanese shipping.
I believe the Bat had its own radar T/R unit to guide it to the
target. Then there were the Azon and Razon gided bombs, steered from
the bomber somewhat like the 293. They were used in Burma to hit rail
lines and bridges.
Way back when was the Kettering 'Bug' - a US 'cruise missile' of WW1.
Like the V1 it was 'D/R' guided.
