However, both countries surrendered before the plan was executed.
Key point: All great powers learn from each other s weaponry. Here is how the Allies copied Nazi V-1 cruise missiles.
Exactly one month after the first of thousands of Nazi V-1 “Buzz Bomb” cruise missiles began raining terror and death on London, a Dakota transport plane landed on July 13, 1944, at Wright-Patterson Field in Ohio bearing a sinister cargo: one ton of V-1 parts recovered from dud missiles.

The Allies had ample warning of the Nazi missile campaign and undertook massive countermeasures to defeat the V-1 threat. But the U.S. Army Air Force also wanted its own V-1s. It ordered concept work on ten different cruise missiles dubbed the JB (Jet Bomb) 1 through 10.

Here s What You Need To Remember: The Wunderwaffe had been a strategic liability for the Germans, who shoveled resources into increasingly ludicrous weapons that could have been better used elsewhere. But it was a boon for the Allies, who piggybacked on captured German weapons and quickly reverse-engineered them.

david, i could use you to lean on, the other develop here in miami just over the last hour is this crane. the first wort is it was cracked, and then collapsed. the terminology might not be important. the important thing is this crane. part of it has toppled over onto a building under construction. more than 20 of these cranes in miami, now still officials say do not go to that area. we ve got several hours more of these storm-force winds here. how concerned should people be in the city? i would say with the cranes especially, staying away from them, probably even thousands of feet. if this crane lets loose and comes down, the wind will stake it to some extent and make it a flying missile. how far it goes depends on the wind speed and obviously the weight of the crane.
