Rockets Disappointed

Coverage of A9 A10 are scant paragraphs. No mention of the Sanger skip bomber.

Can't put it down

This book at first seems very ordinary with its monochrome blue cover and its dense text. Once you start, it's a whole different story. The book almost reads like a novel and is a real page turner. No details appear absent (at the level the book is pitched). I find this technology fascinating and enjoyed the book immensely. In short, don't judge a book by its cover, once you start reading you will find out how good this book really is. The only thing missing is more of the same !

Awesome!!

Even the book is technical in nature I have read this book several times and it is awesome. It is amazing that the Germany's "wonder weapons" of World War II lead to today's development of inter-continental ballistic missiles and the modern air-to-ground missiles. Just imagine if the war lasted into 1946 we would be dealing with these "wonder weapons". This is a must read for history buffs!!!
