The V-2 in America DVD

Designed as a weapon of war and leveraged as an instrument of terror, the German V-2 was the world's first ballistic missile. While the story of the V-2 during World War II is widely known, the post-war history of the V-2 in America remains largely untold. Our "V-2 in America" DVD contains over two hours of video content:

• A USAF-produced overview of the "Blossom" upper atmosphere research project, plus additional archival footage of Blossom flight and payload preparation

• Footage of Bumper WAC flights B-8 and B-7, the first flights from America's Cape Canaveral launch facility

• Archival footage of the US Navy's "Operation Sandy," the launch of a V-2 rocket from the aircraft carrier US Midway

• A special "Modeler's Notes" audio track
