I'm still kicking myself for not buying a book on WWII missile
technology which mentioned a lot of other weapons developed at
Peenemunde, the Luftwaffe research base not the Army base where the
A-series rockets were developed. Amongst other weapons (e.g. the
Wasserfall anti-aircraft missile) there was a guided missile named, I

The elusive A4? The 00000 (funf punkt). - Gravity's (Arc) Angel
