Over a long distance for everbody apparent were the vapor trails, called the "frozen lightnings", the rockets produced when launched. Beside a technical description of the A4 rockets, the construction of the launching sites is also explained. Numerous eye wittnes reports are included as well as the plans of the Wehrmacht to launch the missels from France and the Allied counter measures. The developments after (by the Alliies) and during WW 2 are also covered. A travellers guide to still existant V-2 launch sides cloes the book.
