Was the diaper necessary?

That's peak 1940's underwear technology.

I wonder why he had to do this only in his underwear? Perhaps outer garment interfered with the radio transmissions. 😜

Is it really a drone though? Does he control the flight surfaces?

Documentation from the era specifically calls these remotely controlled drones.

B-17 Flying Fortress Under Attack by Bf 110G (WWII) 🇺🇸🇩🇪 Restored World War II footage shows a U.S. B-17 Flying Fortress taking heavy fire from a German Messerschmitt Bf 110G during an aerial engagement over Europe. The twin-engine fighter closes in from behind and unleashes devastating cannon fire into the bomber’s fuselage, wings, and engines as smoke pours from the damaged aircraft. Even after taking heavy hits, the bomber keeps flying, showing exactly why the B-17 became known as the “Flying Fortress.”

Really cool walkthrough of a B-17G "Flying Fortress" More than 4,700 B-17's were lost in combat during World War II. Less than 10 are still air-worthy today.
