In 1942, the world's first functioning large rocket with liquid propulsion flew. It was technically revolutionary in every way. With its construction the team around Wernher von Braun laid the foundation for the entire rocket development. Ultimately, this led to the successful moon landing of the Americans in 1969.
This documentation, equipped with rare pictures and outstanding graphics, describes the development and the devastating war effort of the world's first large rocket known as the V2 ("Retribution Weapon 2") in unprecedented depth.
With 600 illustrations (many b/w pictures, some color pictures, about 50 color profiles, organigrams, extractions from technical documentations, sectional drawings, b/w and colored maps).
