Henshall, Philip Hitler's Rocket Sites
New York St. Martin's Press 1985 0312388225 / 9780312388225 First US Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
221 pages, 8 plates, diagrams, cloth, DJ, very good. 1st U. S. Edition. From the dust jacket: "The impact of the V1 pulse jet and V2 rocket-powered weapons is a subject central to the history of the Second World War. In this important new study Philip Henshall describes the development of the V1 and V2 and gives the results of his comprehensive investigation of the sites built by the Germans to store, service and launch the rockets. His fresh look at the mass of physical evidence in Northern France has led him to some startling conclusions about the strategy behind these structures. The site organization shows that originally the bulk of the offensive against the United Kingdom was to be carried out using the V1 from sites where little attempt at concealment was made. The servicing and launching sites built for the V2 show that they were also intended for long-range developments, including the A91 0 combination, capable of reaching the U. S. A. One of the sites included silos for the launching of the V2 - strong evidence that the Germans intended to use nuclear or chemical warheads against Britain. Detailed site plans and a comprehensive text explain the military implications of this technical achievement and analyze the factors which thwarted Hitler's ambitious - and almost successful - endeavour.

180 pages, illustrations, diagrams, map, tables, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "This book raises fundamental questions about the existence of a wartime Nazi nuclear weapon - something always emphatically denied after the war by the Nazi scientists who worked on the V2 rocket programme and by the U. S. Government, whose forces captured virtually all of the documents relating to this programme. Here for the first time are all aspects of the German 'miracle weapon' project, brought together in one publication - what it was, what it contained and how it was to be delivered. " ; 180 pages
