  I'm 20 years Air Force as was my dad. I have a military history minor and even taught military history to ROTC cadets at the University of Missouri. I found this information and presentation outstanding. I learned so much.  About 80% of this video was new to me.  Excellent job!

  This man deserves an award for being able to describe the V-1 in surch detail that&apos;s actually both informative and entertaining. &nbsp; &nbsp;I feel like I could actually build one based on such detail.<br>Its sad that so many lives had to be lost over these killing machines.

  Excellent presentation. Best technical discussion of the technical aspects I&apos;ve ever seen. Well done.

  A fascinating description of a complicated device that I thought (as you mentioned) was simply pointed in the desired direction, launched, and ran until it ran out of fuel. &nbsp;It&apos;s amazing what was done back then mechanically that today is all electronic. &nbsp;Everything from mechanical fire control &quot;computers&quot; for naval guns and artillery to the Norden bomb sights.

  This is an excellent presentation about the V-1, the very first cruise missile.

  It&apos;s funny that this machinery was used for killing as many people as possible, but it still has safety features.

  The V1 is far more complicated than I thought. &nbsp;Numerous analog negative feedback mechanisms.

  My Grandfather said those buzz-bombs scared hell out of him and the V2`s didn`t make any noise and that was worse.
