Spezialfahrzeuge 1: Peenemünde 1942-45 V2 rocket book
Did you know how complex the network of special vehicles needed to launch the A4 rocket (V2) in the field actually was? This book explores that question in depth. Every stage of the operation, from loading and transport to testing, supply, launch, and guidance, required purpose-built or specially converted vehicles, including fire control vehicles, supply and testing units, fuel trailers for A-, B- and T-Stoff, the Meillerwagen, Vidalwagen, and associated guidance systems.
In this comprehensive volume, every vehicle type is presented with previously unpublished photographs, detailed drawings, development history, technical specifications, operational role, production data, and use within the Artillerie Abteilungen of Division z.V.
This 384-page hardcover book, in landscape format, includes text in both English and German, more than 275 mostly unpublished photographs, excerpts from original documents, tables, and detailed 1/35 scale drawings, offering historians, technical researchers, and modellers a rich and authoritative reference.
