[armyjunk2]

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

Where at in Indiana is this? I've never heard of this, that's still pretty cool!

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

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!

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.
