"...these books are intriguing from a "look what scientists are designing" viewpoint. Drawing board designs are a valid aspect of historical research and development." -Historical Miniatures Gaming Society Following on from the success of volume 1 Friedrich Georg's second book in the series covers unconventional short- and medium-range weapons. In particular this volume includes a wealth of information about the V-rocket programme not just the more familiar V-1 and V-2 but special variants of these two rockets as well as later experimental craft and weaponry. Following a fascinating examination of pre-war efforts to build flying bombs the author examines the V-1 and V-2 projects in great detail. Particular attention is paid to special variants that have previously received little coverage. These include the V-2 A-4 'America Rocket' and V-2s designed to carry nuclear and radiological warheads. The capability of the Germans to deploy such weapons is also discussed. A large number of weird and wonderful projects that never left the drawing board are examined including the FR-35 V-6 V-101 Waterfall and Naval EMW A-7 rockets. The fascinating final section examines German plans to utilise such rocketry against London and Paris in 1945 as well as recounting the activities of V-weapons on other fronts including Italy Yugoslavia and the Eastern Front. The text is supported by black & white photographs and 16 superb pages of colour artwork including profiles computergenerated images of designs that never flew and pictures of the author's own models.
