	Fieseler Fi-103 (V-1) cruise missile
		The Fieseler Fi 103 developed and tested at Peenemunde research center for the German Air Force during the World War II became the first long-range guided missile and the first operational vehicle in a new class of weapons later known as cruise missiles.
		The Fieseler Fi 103 would be also the first operational vehicle equipped with the "air-breathing" pulsating jet engine, yet another variation of jet propulsion tried at the dawn of the aviation age.
		The Fi 103 was air-launched into the first unpowered flight on August 30, 1942 and tests continued for 18 months.

	Fieseler Fi 103 Reichenberg
		According to William Green's Warplanes of the Third Reich, the piloted version of the Fi 103 "buzz-bomb" missile WAS intended as a suicide weapon.
		It was Skorzeny who suggested that the Fi 103 missile be adapted to accommodate a pilot.
		The aircraft was otherwise quite similar to the unpiloted Fi 103, and carried a 1874-lb warhead in the nose.

	V-1 flying bomb - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Fieseler Fi 103/FZG-76 (Vergeltungswaffe-1, V-1), known as the Flying bomb, Buzz bomb or Doodlebug, was the first guided missile used in war and the forerunner of today's cruise missile.
		The V-1 was designed by Robert Lusser of the Fieseler company and Fritz Gosslau from the Argus engine works as the Fi 103.
		It was powered by an Argus As 014 pulse jet engine providing 2.9 kN (660 lbf) of thrust for a top speed of 630 km/h (390 mph) and a range of around 250 km (150 miles), which was later increased to 400 km (250 miles).

	Fi103V1
		Robert Lusser designed and developed this idea at Fieseler using the Argus As 014 pulsejet, in 1941 Fieseler were given the go a head for the development and production of this simple and cheap to make pilotless aeroplane, now called the Fi 103 V1.
		To solve this difficulty the Heinkel He 111 was modified (H 22) to launch the Fi 103 from the air in what is now called "stand off".
		After the war the French and the Soviets made copies of the Fieseler Fi 103, not much is known regarding the the Soviet effort.

		The first guided missile to be used operationally in large numbers, the Fi 103 was a pilotless flying bomb for the bombardment of large urban areas.
		Development of the weapon was authorised in June 1942, and the Fi 103 began to take shape under the leadership of Dipl: Ing.
		The rest of the airframe comprised the flying surfaces, which included the cantilever mid-set wing and a plain tail unit whose vertical surface provided the rear support for the pulsejet engine whose forward end was carried by a pylon over the battery section.

	Fi 103 Variants Review by Brett Green (Mac 1/72)
		Good use of molds for four variants; includes trolley (Fi 103 variants) or launch mount (Loon); crisply recessed panel lines; small but useful photo-etched parts.
		The Fieseler Fi 103, better known as the V-1, was the forerunner of the modern Cruise Missile.
		These four kits are nicely presented and should build up quickly into good replicas of these Fi 103 variants.

		About 100 pilots, drawn from KG 200 were trained, and about 175 of the modified V-1 (named Fieseler Fi 103 Re Reichenberg) were built.
		Unlike the somewhat similar Japanese Kamikaze Ohka, pilots of the new Fi 103 R were intended to bail out just prior to impact, although in reality this would be difficult because of the cramped cockpit, the sharp angle of the final dive, and the fact that the cockpit was located just below the pulsejet intake.
		The Fieseler Fi 103 Re was never used in combat.

	WWII V-1 Doodlebug-Buzz Bomb
		The German V1 flying bomb, or 'buzz' bomb, known originally as the Fieseler Fi 103, was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen "weapons of vengeance," named in response to Allied air assaults on Germany during World War II.
		The first of Germany's "V-weapons" to be unleashed, the V-1, also known as the Fieseler FI-103, was a small pilotless aircraft powered by a pulse jet engine and carrying a one-ton explosive warhead.
		The project was given high priority by the German High Command in 1942, with Fieseler Flugeugbau Firm, in Kassel, taking the leading development role.

		The manned Fi 103 was a concept that even a year before would have been unthinkable.
		While the pilot was intended to aim the craft at the target and then bail out, the odds of success were very slim indeed.
		The Fi 103 was designed to be launched from a He 111 and while 175 were produced, none were fired in anger.

		Le Fi 103, dénommé très vite V1 (arme de représailles n°1), était une sorte d'avion à réaction sans pilote.
		Suivant les versions (moyenne ou longue portée), le Fi 103 emportait une ogive explosive de 454 kg ou de 850 kg.
		Une évolution un peu surprenante de la V1 fut le Fi 103 R "Reichenberg", une V1 pilotée et larguée depuis un Heinkel He 111.

	The Fieseler Fi-103 (V-1)
		It was a simple device, with an airframe designed by Robert Liisser of Gerhard Fieseler Werke GmbH in Kassel with a Siemens guidance system and known as the Fi 103 V1 / Reichenberg and could be constructed in around fifty man-hours of mainly sheet metal.
		It was powered by a Argus Pulse jet providing 660lb (300kg) of thrust for a top speed of 390mph (628 km/h) and a range of around 150 miles (later the range was extended to 250 miles or 402km).
		Operational air launches were mostly made from He 111 Hs of KG 3 (later KG 63); but, whatever the launch method, about a quarter of the weapons failed in use and only about a quarter of the remainder got through Allied defences.

		Intended for use against shipping or heavily-defended ground targets, the piloted Fi 103 missile was developed under the code-name Reichenberg, and its progenitors were primarily Flugkapitdn Hanna Reitsch, the internationally-famous German woman pilot, and SS-Hauptsturmfdhrer Otto Skorzeny.
		Four piloted models of the Fi 103 were evolved under the Reichenberg program, three of these being training variants.
		The operational model was the Reichenberg IV, and its conversion from the standard Fi 103 missile was the essence of simplicity.
