JB-2 Loon/V-1

At the entrance of the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar sits a JB-2 Loon, the American version of the German V-1 "buzz bomb." This JB-2 bears U.S. Navy markings and has a nose number of "USN 213."

The Air Force Museum's web site has a number of V-1-related images, including a photo of a V-1 launch emplacement and a picture capturing a V-1 moments before impact; the museum also displays a JB-2 Loon.

The Smithsonian has a detailed V-1 page (be sure to click the "Long Description" button). Also see its page for this particular JB-2 Loon, NASM collections ID #A19650127000.

Finally, see my page of V-1 cut-away drawings.
