		The problem of unmanned navigation was overcome by simply pointing it in the correct direction, setting a gyrocompass to keep it level and putting just enough fuel in it to get it to its target.
		The Germans called it their "Vergeltungswaffe" or "retaliation weapon".
		It was so called to give the impression that it was the beginning of a series of terror weapons that would be developed.

		This was a single stage, fin stabilized missile propelled by liquid oxygen and ethyl alcohol to a maximum range of about 200 miles.

		The V-2 rocket, developed and used by the Germans during World War II, was the world's first large-scale liquid-propellant rocket vehicle, the first modern long-range ballistic missile, and the ancestor of today's large-scale liquid-fuel rockets and launch vehicles.
		Called the A-4 (Aggregat 4) by German Army Ordnance, the rocket was dubbed V-2, or Vergeltungswaffe Zwei ("Vengeance Weapon Two"), by Dr. Josef Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry when its existence was publicly announced in November 1944, two months after it was first deployed as a weapon.
		The Smithsonian Institution's V-2 was acquired in 1946 from the U.S. Army Air Forces, and was officially transferred on 1 May 1949 by what was now the U.S. Air Force.

	STAN STOKES AVIATION ART - The Exterminator (Hawker Tempest V)
		The RAF had fought the Luftwaffe to a standoff, and many of Germany's top pilots had been killed or captured.
		Not willing to admit defeat in his campaign against Britain, Hitler approved the development of a pilotless terror weapon, the VF-1 Vergeltungswaffe ("retaliation weapon").
		Designed by the Feiseler Company, the small pilotless Fi-103 was at times referred to in Britain as the "doodlebug," "buzz bomb," or "farting fury." These flying bombs were inexpensive to build and were capable of carrying an 1870-pound warhead.

		The most futuristic weapon of the Second World War, the V2 rocket (Vergeltungswaffe 2, or Retaliation weapon 2) was the first liquid-fueled ballistic missile used by any nation.
		This 14-ton vehicle took less than four minutes to deliver a 2,150-pound explosive warhead to a target 200 miles away.
		Launch numbers would have been higher, but Allied air operations pounded permanent V2 installations in France, forcing the Germans to rely on mobile launchers.

	V-1 Buzz Bomb of WWII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		In June 1944, the German army began the use of what would be a very unique, very deadly, and historical weapon called the V1.
		The 'V' stood for Vergeltungswaffe which meant "vengeance weapon." Better known to Londoners as the "Buzz Bombs" or "doodlebugs," these flying bombs made a very distinct sound as they flew overhead at low altitude, before the timing mechanisms expired, and the bomb fell to earth, and exploded.
		The people of London learned to go about their normal business and walk the streets as these huge 25-foot long, cross-shaped, bombs flew overhead.

		The V-1 (Vergeltungswaffe Eins, or Vengeance Weapon One), was the world's first operational cruise missile.
		This name was given to it by Josef Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry, but the original Air Ministry designation was Fi 103, after its airframe designer, the Fieseler company.
		The actual history of the Army Air Forces' acquisition of this V-1 may never be known due to the loss of relevant documents.

		The FZG-76 was more commonly known as the "V-1" (Vergeltungswaffe 1 -- Vengeance Weapon 1) missile.
		It was a pilotless, mid-win monoplane powered by a unique pulsating flow duct motor, carrying a warhead weighing 1870lb.
		Development of reaction-propulsion by the Germans for eventual application to military uses was started soon after WWI to evade the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which forbade Germany to develop certain classes of internal-combustion reciprocating motors.

	IEEEVM: The Buzz on V1 and V2 Rockets
		At the outbreak of World War II, German experimenter Wernher von Braun and others had already been working toward rockets for space exploration.
		The German government began supporting rocket research in 1932, believing rockets could be used as weapons, and by 1941 German scientists were testing a missile called the Vergeltungswaffe 1 (Vengeance 1).
		This missile, developed by engineer Robert Lisserr, used a special kind of jet engine and relied on a mechanical type of “autopilot” for guidance.

	German missiles that crashed in Sweden 1943-1944
		It is also a bit confused concerning V1 and V2.
		Heinrich Himmler had renamed the unmanned glider missile Fi 103 to V1 (Vergeltungswaffe 1, Vengeance Weapon 1), and the rocket missile which actually went by the name A4 was similarly renamed V2.
		Because of this, Swedish intelligence thought V2 was an improvement over V1, thus a glider aircraft, and as a consequence thereof they believed the rocket that had crashed in Bäckebo to be some kind of totally different weapon.

		The history of the German rocket program is indeed no cute story.
		I was first fascinated by the beautiful, cigar-shaped A-4 rocket which Heinrich Himmler 1944 renamed V-2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2) when I read the postmodern classic Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon.
		Gravity's Rainbow is the parable described by the rocket from takeoff to impact.
