on display at Freeman Field, 1945, during the Open House Freeman Air Museum FF0145 Two V1's on either side Photo by Earl L. Ware, Base Photographer It is believed the V2 in the above photo is hollow and does not have any motor or controls inside. The serial number is supposedly SI 79-13474. (10/22/2022) This information is from the Smithsonian, but their replies and information are rather confusing as they reference photos not shown. Repeatedly requests for Freeman Field to be included as cc:s to relevant emails are quickly forgotten. |
