V1, V2
German flying bombs of World War II, launched against Britain in 1944 and 1945. The V1, also called the doodlebug and buzz bomb, was an uncrewed monoplane carrying a bomb, powered by a simple kind of jet engine called a pulse jet. The V2, a rocket bomb with a preset guidance system, was the first long‐range ballistic missile. It was 14 m/47 ft long, carried a 1‐tonne warhead, and hit its target at a speed of 5,000 kph/3,000 mph.
The V2 was developed by the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun (1912–1977). After the war captured V2 material became the basis of the space race in both the USSR and the USA.
