	V1 missile Buzz Bomb Doodlebug Vergeltungs Waffen FZG76 German flying bomb
		To discover the cause of this weakness, a Flying Bomb was built, in which the warhead was replaced by a similarly shaped fuselage section designated to accommodate a person lying in the prone position.
		Hanna Reich was chosen for this experiment, according to German propaganda reports, because of her diminutive stature and ability to withstand abnormal strains caused by the gyration of the missile.
		The German flying bomb is a simple little aircraft, built almost entirely of welded mild-steel plate, and driven by the simplest form of jet-reaction engine yet devised.

	Flying bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A flying bomb is an unmanned aerial vehicle or small aircraft carrying a large explosive warhead, a precursor to contemporary cruise missiles.
		Flying bombs may be powered or unpowered, piloted or unpiloted, although unpowered flying bombs such as the German Hagelkorn ("Hailstone") and Fritz X designed during World War II are usually referred to as glide bombs.
		Flying bombs differ from missiles in that a flying bomb is equipped with wings to provide lift over a long distance, where missiles are launched on ballistic trajectories and do not rely on lift to reach their targets.

	Axis History Factbook: The V-1 Flying Bomb
		Although the flying bombs were inaccurate, the Germans were launching enough of them to cause severe damage, and the random nature of the attacks was unnerving.
		At the beginning of the flying bomb attacks, London was protected to the southeast by a barrier of 2,000 barrage balloons, captive balloons that trailed cables to present a hazard to low-flying aircraft, and a network of anti-aircraft guns.
		The flying bomb was stored in a watertight hanger on the deck of the submarine, and assembled and launched by solid rocket boosters while the submarine was on the surface.

	V-1 flying bomb - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Vergeltungswaffe 1 Fi 103 / FZG-76 (V-1), known as the Flying bomb, Buzz bomb or Doodlebug, was the first modern guided missile used in wartime and the first cruise missile.
		In fact the bombs had been seeded with radio-transmitting samples to confirm their range, but the results from these samples were ignored in favour of the false eye-witness accounts, and many lives may have been saved by the resulting tendency of future V-1 bombs to fall short of built up areas.
		Seventeen per cent of all flying bombs entering the coastal 'gun belt' were destroyed by guns in the first week on the coast.

	V1 Flying Bomb
		The Vergeltungswaffe 1 FZG-76 (V1), known as the Flying Bomb, Buzz Bomb or Doodlebug, was the first modern guided missile used in wartime and the first cruise missile.
		Called the Buzz Bomb because of the characteristic buzzing sound of the engine it caused considerable fear in the population of London.
		The Tempest wing was built up to over 100 aircraft by September; Griffin[?]-engined Spitfire XIVs and Mustangs were polished and tuned to make them almost fast enough, and during the short summer nights the Tempests shared defensive duty with Mosquitoes.

	V-1 Flying Bombs
		The V-1 (also known as a flying bomb, buzz bomb or doodlebug) was a pilotless monoplane that was powered by a pulse-jet motor and carried a one ton warhead.
		The main force bombed target indicators dropped by the Pathfinders and were guided by route markers laid by them, but a force of Lancasters from 5 Group were to attack separately in the later stages of the attack, when there was reason to fear that the markers would be obscured by smoke.
		The first launching sites were, as I have already described, so effectively bombed by the American and R.A.F. bombers that the Germans soon abandoned them; they learned too late, in the beginning of 1944, that it was hopeless to rely on anything vulnerable to bombing, especially at so short a distance from bases in England.

		We would be vectored to the position where the bomb was expected to cross the coast, and were given a perfect countdown to its arrival.
		You don't need to be Einstein to calculate that in the event of a bomb exploding, the pilot had between one and two seconds to evade the blast, depending on the range from which he opened fire.
		At times the bomb would blow up and we were forced to fly through the blast and debris; pilots were killed on such occasions, but the Tempest was one tough aircraft and could take a lot of punishment.

	Question: Thunderbolt versus Flying Bomb. (Allied Planes Blog) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Having seen many flying bombs passing over my home, and the air field was 10 miles farther along the path of the flying bomb, when the flying bomb was spotted crossing the coast, the Thunderbolt could be airborne in minutes, and waiting.
		But that was not all, the Thunderbolts had a speed of 425 mph plus, while the flying bomb never did remain at a steady speed.
		When you take the numbers of flying bombs that crash, and didn’t make the coast, you will find that they were not reliable, and the speed was any where from 275 to 325 mph.
