Its a real one, I figure they got it from Freeman Field that had lots of german planes there after WWII, several years ago they found some buried german parts there

Jerry Yeagen has a genuine V-1, they have even run the engine. Guys ought to see the V-2 in London, big and scary looking.

Haha, I don't remember where I saw it, I think it was in Warbird Digest, but there was a list of Jerry's airworthy aircraft, and the V-1 was on that list, hmm :?: :wink:

I wrote the article and compiled that list... yes, Jerry Yagen does have a V-1, and I am pretty sure that they have run the engine. The V-1 in the photo above looks a little fake, or at least heavily restored to my eye though... What's it doing there though is the big question!

Cheers,
Richard

I THINK THAT IS THE CASE . for some reason I think I was told that the Parks Dept had done the restore job. It could be a Loon, who is the Loon/V-1 expert in here. AJ2

Our museum in Dayton also has a real German made V-1 Buzz Bomb in storage awaiting to be restored as soon as we get enough free time to do it. The V-1 thats currently on display in the Air Power Gallery is a JB-2 Loon that was donated by Continental Motors Corporation back in 1957. We also have a real German A-4 Type V-2 rocket on display.
