	V-1. Who is V-1? What is V-1? Where is V-1? Definition of V-1. Meaning of V-1.
		The V1 was developed in Germany during the Second World War and was used operationally between June 1944 and March 1945.
		When the V1 raids began, the only effective defense was interception by a handful of very high performance fighter aircraft, in particular the Hawker Tempest.
		In daylight, V1 chases were chaotic and often unsuccessful until a special defence zone between London and the coast was declared in which only the fastest fighters were permitted.

	V-1 flying bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Despite the bombing of the V-sites and supply centres, an average of almost 120 flying bombs a day were launched in the first week of July.

	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.

		The V1 The V1 The V1 was one of Hitler’s secret weapons that he had told his generals that Nazi Germany possessed which would turn the way World War Two was going in 1944.
		The V1 is difficult to classify as a weapon as it was not a true rocket in that it did not leave the atmosphere, but it was also clearly not a plane.
		Originally, the V1 had a maximum range of 150 miles but this was improved to 250 miles to allow for it to be launched from Holland.

	Flying Bombs and Rockets : V1 Flying Bomb
		The blast area of a V1 often extended across a radius of 400 yards in each direction.
		At the beginning more people were caught unawares on the street and therefore injuries from flying glass were widespread.
		However, this had the effect of less flying glass injuries but more crush injuries from people being buried in the ruins of collapsed houses.

	V1 Rocket Propaganda Leaflets
		Greg Goebel discusses the various forms of the V1 in an article entitled "The V1 Flying Bomb." He says, "Some of the V-1s were fitted with a radio transmitter and a trailing antenna wire so that their flight could be monitored.
		At the same time that Germany was firing V1 flying bombs at the allies, it was also dropping leaflets telling the troops what their home front was going through under the bombardment.
		She placed leaflets in some of the flying bombs, and then authorized an entire psychological warfare propaganda leaflet campaign around the threat of the V-weapons in hope that the enemy would be terrorized and demoralized.

		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.

	Remote Piloted Aerial Vehicles : The 'Aerial Target' and 'Aerial Torpedo' in Germany
		The German V1 flying bomb, or 'buzz' bomb, known originally as the Fieseler Fi 103, FZG 76, was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen ("weapons of vengeance," named in response to Allied air assaults on Germany during World War II).
		The V1 (known to the Germans as a FZG-76 as it was designed by the Fiesler company) was an unmanned, un-guided, flying bomb.
		By 1945, however, the attitude toward using the flying bomb had changed so much that only criminals or pilots who were in a depressed state or were ill would be allowed to fly Reichenbergs.

		They were nicknamed "buzz bombs" by the British due to the distinct buzzing sound made by the pulse-jet engines powering the bombs, which overall resembled a small aircraft.
		Other British nicknames included "doodlebugs" and "flying bombs." Each V-1 was launched from a short length catapult then climbed to about 3,000 feet at speeds up to 350 miles per hour.
		Unlike conventional German aircraft bombing raids, V-1 attacks occurred around the clock in all types of weather, striking indiscriminately, causing suspense and terror among the population of London and parts of Kent and Sussex.

		The V1 (officially the Fieseler Fi.103, or FZG76) was a tiny, unmanned aircraft of simple construction but high performance, with a 17.5 foot wingspan and 25.5 foot length; when fully fuelled up with low grade gasoline for launching it weighed over two tonnes, the high explosive (Amatol) warhead comprising slightly less than half of this.
		Initially attacks were launched on the bombs from directly astern, as in normal combat against manned aircraft, but this proved extremely dangerous if the bomb exploded, and turbulence from the V1's exhaust frequently upset the pilot's aim.
		Yet another technique was to fly across the nose of the bomb, the resulting turbulence sometimes achieving the same result, the V1 turning over and diving out of control.

		Of course, when the first flying bombs came over the Channel from France in the middle of June, very little was known about their habits and construction, and all fighter pilots had to experiment and swap experiences to work out the best method of destroying them or shooting them down.
		We had to find out how near we could get to the flying bomb and shoot without the risk of being blown up by it, and I have to tell you that some brave men died before the answer was obtained.
		Fragments of the bomb were blown into my aircraft and one went into the air intake, jamming the throttle, which was almost wide open.

	Argus V1 Pulsejet
		Perhaps the most famous, or should that be infamous, pulsejet engine of all time is the huge unit designed by Schmidt and built by Argus in Germany for their V1 flying bomb.
		The fuel supply was pressurized by the same tank of compressed air that was also used to drive the gyros and operate the control surfaces of the V1 airframe.
		Although the Argus only saw limited service as an operational engine after its introduction in mid-1944, its effect as the power source of the much-feared flying bomb was, and always will be, of immense significance in the field of jet propulsion.

		It wasn't until June 1944 that Londoners again suffered from daily indiscriminate bombing but this time it was the V1 (also called doodlebugs) and V2 rockets.
		As the allies advanced in France, the Germans lost their launch sites so by the end of August the V1 raids had largely ceased although some were still launched from planes.
		Although they were not much more destructive than the V1, they could not be detected by radar, nor could they be shot down because of the high speeds at which they travelled.
