Before the Predator drone, there was this.America had UCAV tech in WWII, called the Interstate TDR-1.
here is info of it on Wikipedia [link]
-------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
Found out about a independantly developed German UCAV, the Argus Fernfeuer. Its development was terminated in 1941 when the RLM lost intrest in the project. Its own development evolved too create what we know now as the V-1 missile.

Towards the end of the war the military was working on it's own drone called the Doodlebug. Basically, they took the turbocharger off of the Pratt and Whitney engine used on the B-29, and added a burner chamber to it and made a miniature jet engine. The Doodlebug used two and was intended as a rail launch vehicle. The project was terminated after several failures and not one successful launch. But I like this unit.
