Air Retaliatory Weapons The Heinkel He 111 medium bomber was one of the most important German bombers of the pre-war period and the early years of World War II. In 1944, the H-22 version was developed, adapted to carry the Fi 103 missile, known as the V1, under the wing. Powered by a pulsejet engine and equipped with a warhead weighing approximately 900 kg, the V1 was initially launched from ground-based launchers. However, air-launch increased its range and operational flexibility. He 111 H-22 bombers operated primarily from the Netherlands, launching missiles towards Great Britain. The Fi 103 was developed by German engineer Robert Lusser, previously associated with companies such as Heinkel and Messerschmitt. He co-created the V1 concept, and his work had a significant influence on the development of early cruise missiles. Now you can own a collectible model of this historic design. The shelf is all you need to build it.
