IWM Duxford | Behind the Ropes: V1 Flying Bomb
After D-Day, Hitler, with the tide of the war turning against him, launched his 'Vengeance Weapons' against England and Europe. The first of these was the V1 flying bomb, the great-grandfather of Cruise missiles today. Hundreds of these pilotless bombs were launched into London, causing massive destruction and loss of life.
Your expert guide will give you a fascinating insight into the design, development and use of these devastating weapons. You will learn how they work and hear the little-known story of how they were stopped using the brute force of Bomber Command and the Home Defences, the treachery of captured German spies, the skill of Fighter Command pilots and and intrigue of Operation Double Cross and the little know counter- espionage genius John Cecil Masterman.
This event does not include general admission. Please book a separate general admission ticket for yourself and anyone in your party.
