Description:
Eighteen Rockets and Missiles of World War II is the latest of Peter Alway’s supplements to Rockets of the World. It tells some of the less-often told stories of World War II rocketry, through examples from the five most important warring countries. While the V-2 is the best-known rocket of the war (and as such it gets its own booklet), these five nations fired millions of smaller solid-fueled rockets in combat, ranging from handheld-bazookas to rack-launched Katyushas to air-launched rockets from each country. Like all booklets in this series, each rocket gets a detailed dimensioned reference drawing. While all of the photos are reproduced in black and white, the drawings include the complete color data you need to paint your models accurately.
