D.Hölsken, V-missiles of the Third Reich.

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Dear all,

Who has the book of Dieter Hölsken, V-missiles of the Third Reich. The V-1 and V-2 (1994) and is willing to help me with some answers:

- what is written about the first, unpowered flight test(s) of the Fi-103 up and including the first launch from the Rheinmetall-Borsig launching ramp on Christmas Eve 1942 ?

The reason for asking is that some German test films survived WW-2 (suggesting that ALL test launches were filmed) but I try to compose a chronological list of each Fi-103 used in the tests. Such an original list exists for the V-2 rocket - then named A4 - but so far I haven't found a similar overview of Fi-103 tests...

Any help is much appreciated, Marcel
