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.
