The reader sees the first sighting of a V-1 flying bomb at the Peenemunde research facility, weapon launch sites, production facilities as well as the damage caused by Allied raids.

One of the best things about being a PI is that you develop a good memory for details, and you are part of an exclusive inner circle of other PIs who are willing to share thoughts and materials. I was honored to be allowed to join the Medmenham Club, and I have fellow members Wing Commander M D (Mike) Mockford, OBE, RAF (Retd), and Major ACL (Chris) Halsall, Intelligence Corps (Retd) to thank for some of the most significant photos in this bookand particularly for access to Douglas Kendalls unpublished memoirs. I also had fine cooperation from the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), Defence Audio Visual Agency (DAVA), Imperial War Museum, US National Archives, Bundesarchiv and several private collectors of Second World War imagery. Some of my sense of what was going on and how people felt at the time comes from years of taking every chance I had to talk with former bomber and fighter pilots during unit Reunions, Squadron parties and coffee breaks during various military assignments. I have also talked with people who heard the buzz-bombs overhead as children. They were there and lived through the critical months this book documents.
The opinions that follow are mine alone, and if I got any of the story wrong, I hope the friends who helped me, and those who served at Medmenham, will forgive.
Lastly, I want to thank the publishers (noted in the Bibliography) who so graciously granted permission to quote from their copyright material, and the folk at Pen & Sword for making this such a comfortable experience--particularly Brigadier Henry Wilson and David Hemingway.
