Customer Reviews

Very detailed and informative

This book gives a lot of information about the V1 and V2 projects and is a good read. It moves along at a good pace and is easy to follow.

Good History

A well written and well researched text covering Nazi Germany's most feared and most imitated weapons. This book gives even the casual reader amazing insight to the development and deployment of these leading edge weapons. Mr Kutta is an outstanding historian and makes the subject come alive. Well worth reading for anyone of any level of interest in the subject. Remember the the V-2 was the starting point for the US Space program, and the V-1 inspired the modern day cruise missile.
