INFORMATION:

Their range was only 250 miles, so the launch sites had to be close to the coast to hit southern England. The body was a simple steel tube filled with fuel, a 2,000 lb warhead, and a primitive guidance system. A pulse jet motor was attached above the tube at the back of the rocket. The short, rudimentary wings were made of wood. It was a simple, medium range flying bomb, that was not very effective. Had it been guided to targets things may have been a lot tougher for the Allies.
