- Air Zoo Docent, Kevin, takes us on a technical tour of the V-1 Flying bomb. This bomb, and early cruise missile, reigned terror upon cities across Europe during World War 2.
The Air Zoo is a world-class, Smithsonian-affiliated aerospace and science museum with over 100 air and space artifacts, inspiring interactive exhibits, full-motion flight simulators, indoor amusement park rides, a theater and over 100 education programs!
This man deserves an award for being able to describe the V-1 in surch detail that's actually both informative and entertaining. I feel like I could actually build one based on such detail.
Its sad that so many lives had to be lost over these killing machines.
Thank you for you kind comments. Indeed you are so right regarding lives lost to these, both in building them and in their use.
'only' about 2500 people expired because of this device, so it wasn't all that effective. The psychological aspect was terrifyingly effective, though.
Especially for us here in the UK 😢🫤🇬🇧
And if you really could bild onewhere would you send it?😉
@@Eliah153
I'd tell you where I'd send it but I don't want the secret service knocking on my door.
Oops!
I‘m a German engineer in autonomous driving. It‘s so amazing to see how they developed an autonomous device without ANY microcontrollers / software 😲😲😆
Yes, I am an engineer too, and I am impressed about the design of V1. It was so simple and effective! Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. What is not there does not cost, does not break, and requires no maintenance. Only those who master their craft can reach extreme simplicity in their designs.
Launch an autonomous drone from Europe, escape fighter interception (the V1 could be reached by a fighter only in a deep dive), and let it land in London was not a simple task. I bet than even today with all the electronic gadgets, without the aid of a GPS it would not be easy.
But look how easily they were deceived by a single maniac though.
Many things can be made without computers. However, the end result would be big and expensive. Microprocessors are cheap and small.
@@mauricelevy9027You mean Trump? Yes, truly astounding how gullible people can be in this day and age of information.
@@shanelodge391 I'm not so sure He was around even then .His father may still have been "at home" . No I mean little Austrian bloke witha Charlie Chaplin Bristles under His nose who misled a gullible nation who obviously had not seen the light at the end of WW1
I am old enough to remember those things. We lived in a western suburb of London The newspapers reported on them and printed three views, So when I saw one I recognised what it was. I would guess it was at about 1500 feet and I was about a half mile from its course. After that, I might have seen about a half dozen. They just kept on to out of sight over the north horizon. They would keep on until the motor quit and then a few seconds after would hit the ground and explode. But there was one that came down maybe a half mile from me. I was taking a crap at the moment and this one was different. I heard it coming The engine did not quit.But suddenly the noise of the motor went up in pitch and volume. All I could do was, well just to tense and wait.
About a half mile away was Duke somebodies mansion in the middle of his biggish park, The Bomb impacted just inside the wall of the park. This was a good place, far enough from the dukes place and inside his high brick wall. There was a public road on the outside of that and outside of that the West Middlesex hospital, so it did not hurt anybody or do any damage. To this day I sometimes hear a diesel bus that remindes me of the Buzz bombs noise.
amazed 👏 thank you for sharing that sir 🙏🏽
You'd have to be at least in your 90's to remember the doodlebugs. You must have some good life stories. With respect, I drink to your health 🍻
Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. What people endured back then…
Not my experience in industrial North London through the war . They came ,We watched ,they killed .Not worth writing a video about !
Hi Bob 🇬🇧🙏👍
As all the comments below say, excellent. I read that the Germans realised the sudden cut of the engine gave people a few seconds to take cover. They modified the system so the engine ran until impact. German spies who had been captured and turned were used to misreport the V1s landing in the west of London. The Germans altered the counter so many bombs fell short of the populated areas. The new proximity fuse saved countless lives. “On the last day of large-scale attacks only 4 Of 104 bombs succeeded in reaching their target. Some of the 100 destroyed are credited to the Royal Air Force and to the barrage balloons, but the majority of the V-1’s were victims of proximity-fuzed projectiles.”
yes the V-fuse proximity fuse was a huge help especially for the Kamikaze attacks in the pacific theater
@@mikesmith-wk7vy Indeed. A lesser-known but crucial story is “Doc” Draper’s gyro sight. “The importance of Draper’s sight cannot be overemphasized, as it played an essential part in providing the shipboard air-defense system needed to defend the Fleet. This was especially true in the later months of the war when the kamikaze threat was at its greatest.
The added effectiveness of Draper’s lead-computing sight is difficult to assess. Nevertheless, it should be noted that during the period of the campaign in the Philippines when the dreaded kamikaze first appeared, 20-mm and 40-mm guns under the control of Draper’s sight accounted for 78.6 percent of all suicide planes brought down by shipboard antiaircraft fire.” The Mk 14 and prox fuse together also saved countless lives especially given the staggeringly low hit rate of normal AA.
Realized.
London newspapers reported false data to trick the nazi spies living among them. It may, or may not have been effective. The doppler-radar shells were cutting edge and very effective.
@@jj4791 Interesting. Probably not very effective since I believe every German spy in the UK was caught and either executed or turned. German military intelligence was generally ineffective- Canaris himself was even actively working against Hitler.
The Germans certainly loved to use new methods to attack an enemy. Simple machine yet some very clever mechanisms built in. Very good video of this revolutionary and effective weapon.
@E Van "The mass-murders of WWII were all committed by the allies." Stupid rewriting of history. You need to read more. I suggest "The Bomber War" by Robin Neillands.
.
Let's put aside the fact that The Axis governments STARTED the war which didn't have to happen and all deaths thereafter were due to them. Bombing of cities was established by the Axis - not the Allies. What about unprovoked bombing of London, Coventry and Pearl Harbor? What about the endless war crimes committed by the Japanese during their age of imperialism leading into and including WWII ? Ever hear of China, Burma, the Philippines or Korea ? What do you think a world war is ?
.
I really dislike armchair historians that have no understanding of what real war is. The Germans immediately took the war into the rest of Europe. While they were destroying other innocent countries and peoples their own country was relatively untouched. They sat back and manufactured vast war supplies within their own country unfettered by the death they were dealing elsewhere. The Nazis controlled the media and the German people were willfully ignorant of the part they were playing. Don't forget, the German and Japanese people were fueling these atrocities with their own labor as well as slave labor. Don't pretend they didn't see what was happening to the Jews, political opposition and prisoners. To end the war the Allies had to break the German's manufacturing base and bring the war to the German people. Then maybe the German people might find war a bit more distasteful and end the war from within.
.
So you think "The Blitz" was nothing ? Really ? How damn callous can a person be ? I guess the Jews got what they deserved too eh ? You'd think differently if it was your town that was destroyed and your family wiped out. The idea that a retaliatory strike's size should be based on the initiating attack's size is a totally bogus concept. That is how wars are stretched out to last longer and kill more people. How about this reasoning ? An attack that never happens will result in a retaliatory attack of the same size - zero ! I little poke at a hornet's nest can result in a huge response right ? Are the hornets at fault ?

Edit: Thanks to the gentleman who provided the clearest explanation of how this device functioned that I have ever heard!
During 1950s, Walter Kaaden, one of the engineers who harnessed harmonic shock waves within the pulse jet tube, went on to invent the expansion chamber exhaust which effectively super charges two stroke engines. He also used reed valves within the inlet port.
Those "expansions" were a waste of money or the fools that fitted them did it wrong,I was told you had to change the jetting on the carbs free up the airflow on the air intake and fit the expansions,To get the "added" performance nobody did it was cosmetic or a different noise,I had many races with my "standard" Suzuki GT550 and won,One could argue i was racing posers with more money than sense,And weren't interested in power but looking "cool"
@@Johnketes54 every 2 stroke bike from the 60s onwards has an expansion pipe, 2 strokes are tuned for a very narrow resonance or power band and share more in common with a pulse jet than a 4 stroke
@@turkeyboyjh1 They also provide a large boost in efficiency within a narrow rpm-range, so unless you specifically need a super compact engine package, or the engine needs to run well in a very wide rpm-range, it would be pretty silly not to include at least a basic expansion pipe. The whole point is that the exhaust pressure wave is reflected back up the exhaust towards the engine, and shoves unburnt charge back into the cylinder just before the exhaust port closes. It's a pretty clever acoustic hack that doesn't add much to the production cost. It's just a bit bulky.
@@Johnketes54 to take full advantage of expansion chambers, the exhaust port height also needed to be raised (i.e. grind the exhaust port hole in the cylinder wall with rotary grinder). With appropriate porting and carburetor jetting changes, very significant power increases were possible. However without these internal engine changes, you are correct, putting expansion chambers on an otherwise stock (street legal) motorcycle was largely a waste of money.
Amazing, I remember the Japanese stole the technology with help from inside the German company/motorcycle rider 😮 very much the usual industrial espionage that goes on with technology, always somebody trying to steal it.
at 5:30, I’m pretty sure the wooden sphere does NOT “dampen” magnetic interference at all. Rather, it’s made of wood so as to not CREATE interference with the compass. Any nonferrous material would have sufficed, but wood was probably more available than other strategic materials.
I agree. I used to be an aircraft instrument dude in another life, and if you messed with the magnetic field of the fuselage, it would also mess with the earth's magnetic field and the compass won't work. More than likely the unit was calibrated in situ to compensate for all influences, including electric circuits, and then was declared accurate enough.
@@dougerrohmer
Correct. The V1 compass would have to be ‘swung’ with all electrical systems on, in situ with all ferrous metal in the aircraft for the navigation system to be accurate.
Wood was used around the compass to dampen vibrations. It has indeed nothing to do with magnetic interference. The nosecone was made out of aluminium for that purpose.
They are explaining it in more detail here from minute 9 onward. Also it’s the video that contains the animated parts they also used here.

A fascinating description of a complicated device that I thought (as you mentioned) was simply pointed in the desired direction, launched, and ran until it ran out of fuel. It's amazing what was done back then mechanically that today is all electronic. Everything from mechanical fire control "computers" for naval guns and artillery to the Norden bomb sights.
I still believe irrespective of what this character says that the early one's were this way,It's no one is interested in perfection,Those exceedingly annoying British putting up a FIGHT,When the rest of Europe was a walk over,We will SORT them out, yes it evolved to the standard portrayed in this video,They were relatively easy to shoot down with Hurricanes and everyones hero the Spitfire,But the ramps were bombed by the US and the UK.The V2 was far more deadly,These thing were a nuisance,My mum said she use to run towards them if the were overhead because they blow up where you were standing or better still behind you,I know your impressed with computers but not all used for the benefit of the ordinary person,Now you have to pay someone to fix something where 20 years ago you could have done it yourself
@@Johnketes54 I thought that too. However it wouldnt even start flying horizontally without some gyro and the mechanics turning the controls. Russians style dumb rocket launchers are following a ballistic path like artillery shells - this was not the case with V1
@@Johnketes54 The Hurri couldn't catch them except in a dive, the V1 flew at 400 mph. The P51 could do 460 mph, so could catch them easily. So could the Tempest, Mosquito and Spitfire.
The V1 did not fly to it ran out of fuel. There was a 25:1 ratio gearbox that drove a threaded rod. To set the range a switch was moved so that when a nut was driven along the threaded rod it would activate the switch and dive the rocket down. The negative g caused the fuel starvation and wasn't supposed to happen. Latter V1 had a second switch so they could change course and fly a dog leg so they couldn't be tracked.
We were all taught that they were dumb bombs that ran out of fuel.
Ww2 was a high tech war; the British had a vacuum tube driven proximity sensor on bombs used over open water that no one knew existed until after the war.
Old school electro/mechanical systems are AMAZING. Today it would be basic PLC or other basic digital systems but back then it was almost an art the way they used basic physics to make stuff work
You can do it today but electronic controls are more precise, cheaper than mechanical ones, easier to mass-produce, way lighter and smaller in size and easier to maintain. Yes I appreciate the beauty of fully mechanical systems but won't use it today as a main ones whenever it's possible.
I was taught in more than 1 class that it was set to run until it ran out of fuel and they just filled it to different amounts to get close to where they wanted it to land. Glad I saw this video and finally learned the truth.
I can't understand why anyone would say that.
@@robertcook2572 I think it was just to insult the Nazis actually, the same teachers had said many pro Soviet statements about them being so superior, etc and everything German was inferior.
I don't think you LEARNED THE TRUTH who says he RIGHT except him? I wouldn't take his word for it,Perhaps the the one in the video a LATER ONE worked on that principle,This is CZcams he gets paid either way,I get so sick and tire of people not doing their research properly and taking the Role of the ORACLE
No, that’s not what happened.
Many people think that it just runs out of fuel and then just falls. The veeder counter was used to trigger the intentional dive. It must be admitted that the accuracy, despite attempts to get it on target, was poor. Especially the farther it flew.
Thank you, That is the most in depth technical description of the V-1 operation I have heard in my 60+ years.
You are welcome. I appreciate hearing this from you. Hope one day you can visit the Air Zoo!
The so called 'start cart' pictured at 18:28 is in fact the steam generator cart for the catapult, which generated large volumes of hot steam by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The starting functions for the pulse jet were provided by other pieces of equipment.
This is still used in Russian space rockets
@@leopold3146 Steam generator cart for the catapult? No. Space rockets take off by itself.
@@user-bh6ey1ke4n steam generators to start turbo pumps are not uncommon on rocket engines.
@@heikoscheuermannturbopumps don't need/use EXTERNAL steam generators to operate they use their own built-in.
I didn't say a single word about effin EXTERNAL...
Excellent presentation. Best technical discussion of the technical aspects I've ever seen. Well done.
The combustion design of the V-1 was adopted and used in the Lennox Pulse furnace to heat residential homes. It was one of the first high efficiency furnaces and is still used in some homes. These furnaces had a noisy "buzz" sound from the exhaust pipe. Lennox had to design mufflers for the furnace exhaust.
96 yr; old WWII vet, some memory loss:
I think I also remember a V bomb that sputtered, rather than pulsed.
I also remember watching a V-2 (the straight up and straight down rocket) rising in the dark as we stealthily approached the Rhine. I thought "Poor Londoners, there goes one (completely unstoppable) of those blockbusters at them." I later read they were aiming at the Ludendorff bridge to hinder our Rhine crossing. I was pitying the Londoners while the damn thing was aimed at me! (practically)
If you could see the V2 going up, you were probaly too close to be the target.
@@wolf310ii That was another reason I supposed they were on the way to England.
I read (later) they had tried to destroy the Ludendorff bridge by throwing everything - including V-2's at it. We were approaching the Rhine, so we must not have been too far from the launch site.
At the time, it didn't occur to me that they could be aiming at something so close.
@@edgarvalderrama1143 The V2 aiming at the Ludendorff bridge where started in Netherland by the SS Werfer Batterie 500, around 200km away from Remagen.
What you saw was probaly a V2 from the schwere Artillerie Abteilung 836 in Gehlert (3. Batterie) or Kirburg (2. Batterie) 40-50km away from Remagen, but this Unit fired at Antwerpen and London, Remagen was too close.
@@wolf310ii As I said, I later (fairly recently) read they tried to hit the bridge with V-2's, which is why I said they were (practically) aimed at me. They were supposedly diverted from their original target and aimed unsuccessfully at the bridge.
Thank you for your service.
This was an outstanding presentation. Well thought out and well executed. I didn't know the weapon was as complicated as it is, but it apparently worked very well, unfortunately for many people. I've read about some of our allied fighters being able to either shoot them down, or fly alongside and then tip the wing over. Pretty dangerous stuff in both cases.
Thought I knew quite a bit about the V1 but you covered way more. Great work, thanks.
This is an excellent presentation about the V-1, the very first cruise missile.
Amazing engineering from 80 years ago !
Where could humanity be presently if this talent had been used for constructive purposes ?
all of the largest technological gains come from warfare
Amazing description of how the doodlebug operated……my mum was five when this menace started and still recalls the sound of the pulse jet…..This before being evacuated with her brother from the East End of London to Wales……where she first tasted strawberries and cream. Uncle Billy was crying for his mum….. while mum found a love of sweet things….. that never left !
I find it oddly amusing how we called these menacing devices by such a silly name. From what I can tell, the name Doodlebug comes from colloquial names for the Woodlouse or the Cockchafer beetle, perhaps because the bomb looked like one of them, or the buzz sounded like that of a beetle in flight. However the silly name came about, it's kind of a nice feeling that people could still laugh at life even under such dire circumstances.
Thank you! the V1 is far more complex than I had thought.
I don't need to imagine the experience. I lived in central London during the war and my closest experience with a V1 was when I was hanging out washing on the roof of Portman Buildings in Lisson Grove with my grandmother and mother when one of these bloody things cut out. We just about got to the street when it went off. I still remember the vegetables in the street in Broadley Terrace from the green grocer's and all the windows broken. And I'm expected to condem the bombing of Dresden.
Tony. I played on the bomb sites. I remember the gaps it the three floor Victorian terraced houses which were totally destroyed by bombing, You could still see bits of wallpaper on the walls and the outline of the fireplace. There were large baulks of wood to buttress and support the surviving adjoining houses. Prefabs in the local park to house those who had been bombed out of their homes. To be honest after the war people were so much happier then. Perhaps happy that it was over, and they had survived?
You guys from UK and US have mass murdered more german civilians than germany could have ever done to you! Your goal was never to stop the war, you guys literally wanted germany/europe a farmers area and western colony or another war to finally erase germany from the planet!
Sry but there is nothing good in any war, especially considering western imperialists and capitalists are the reason for the wars (literally ALL wars since 1850 are a western fault!), death, pain, suffering and poor people ;)
No, you are not expected to condemn the Dresden bombing, as this was not a very particularly gruesome raid in the history of bombings of German cities, regardless what some may claim. You might though condemn the strategic bombing of wartime Germany in general. This was the British military command that did all this, supported by the Americans, who joined in later and first tried to remain more "civilized" by conducting daytime bombings, so as to be able to target military objects and refrain from civilian ones, or, at least, that was the initial intention.
Bombings of cities started early in WWII by the British when they flew over Western Germany, albeit not all too successfully yet in those early days. When Hitler could no longer postpone German responses to the continued attacks, he strictly ordered not to hit any civilian British targets, as he knew that it would all lead to an uncontrollable spiral of increasing intensity. During the first German raid on the London docks, some stray bombs also hit civilian houses, which was due to the lack of control in the beginning of the air raids, when experience was not yet established. This was all that Churchill needed to call for a counter strike on Berlin, which was already prepared anyway.
When the Germans in the last year of the war resorted to extraordinary weapons like the V1 and V2, they did this out of the realisation that they had no other means left to hit the enemy on its own soil. Germany never built anything like the Allied strategic bomber fleets. That was never the intention. You may call it an act of terror, but that is what you get when you declare war and reject any peace offer ever since. The Casablanca Declaration of 24 January 1943 demanded unconditional surrender from the Germans. So, there was nothing left to do than to fight until the end. Churchill was quite relieved to learn that the 20 July 1944 plot against Hitler had failed. Now, he did not have to pretend to come to peace with a different German command, as the ongoing claim was that war was waged against "Hitlerism". A false pretense, as this was a war against Germany, not against some regime.
@@Guido_XL "A false pretense, as this was a war against Germany, not against some regime."
And so it is with russia now... russia didnt wanted the war and its NOT "PuTiNs war"...
@@Guido_XL Really? So Germany didn’t bomb Warsaw and other Polish cities and towns in 1939? Yeah, right.
This was so well done, great series.
Great explanation, thanks for taking the time to explain at length the mechanisms.
Wow. The V1 was much more sophisticated that what I thought. Like others, I thought it was just a bomb on a flight platform powered by a pulse jet and when it ran out of fuel it crashed and exploded. Regardless of ideology, the German engineers were quite advanced.
Excellent overview. Thanks for posting!
The BEST description ov the V-1 vengeance flying bomb ever! Thank you thank you thank you!
Very well explained! Thank you
Brilliant explanation of a weapon actually more complex than at first imagined. Bravo!
Best informative description of the first cruise missile that I've ever heard. Excellent.
An ingenious device for its time, basically the first cruise missile.
Of course the effects of it were more psychological than material but still an impressive design.
Great video! I previously thought the V-1 initiated its dive to target _only_ by shutting off the fuel to the engine. Now I know otherwise...👍
Outstanding dissertation on the V-1. So much more to it than meets the eye. History has always taught us that it was basically a gyro stabilized glide bomb that was launched in the general direction of
England, a vengeful 'stab in the dark' with no specific target in mind.
Awesome description! I thought I'd read and viewed everything available about the V1, but you taught me lots of new stuff. Pity you couldn't pop those covers off and show us the inside workings! I really liked the superimposed graphics for the fuel lines, tanks etc - helped to visualize the system. Nice work!
Thanks for your kind words. I have to make sure all credit goes to Euan for the graphics and overall assembly of the video. He adds all the extra content and frankly, makes what I do much better.

Great video presentation. A lot of questions about this machine were answered. My remaining question is how did they manage to keep the wings level? The dihedral was fairly flat and there were no alerions to maintain wings level. Rudder control works with a high dihedral wing, but a flat wing usually needs control surfaces.
Fascinating. Well done.

I live less than 1 hour from 2 Blockhaus who were made to launch V1 and V2 who are now museum. One is about the war ( Eperlecques ), the other is about the life in the region during occupation and the space race with a planetarium ( Helfaut ).
Well done sir. My family were on the receiving end of these during WW2. It is wonderful to hear how they worked in detail and just image the challenges that the designers faced to get the new technologies involved with what is clearly one of the first cruise missiles to work. My uncle (father's brother) was a pilot who was part of the defence against these things by tipping them over. He was lost in the latter stages of the war RIP. Thank you.

@@buckhorncortez When Spell Check thinks it should.
Mean while in Viet Nam Charlie often just used two crossed pieces of tree limbs to ruffly aim one of their powerfully 122 millimeters rockets at a base camp. Was a great harassment tool. Often miss the camp but while in Phi Loi in 1971 for in country training class Charlie only fired one 122 mm rocket that morning killing the guy in the Mars station couple hundred feet from us. Asked one of my sergeants why they don't send a helicopter out looking for the rocket shooter. Told me he ran a few hundred feet then hid in a hole where he would never be found.
