We didn't have room for this photo in KTB #107 last month. This is a blockhouse at America's FIRST ROCKET BASE.
Here is BUD DANA (245-A/LIFE-1987) and MARK STEWART (new Member) ooking at a V-1 rocket that was being tested here perhaps fifty years ago, but it failed to make it very far from the end of the launching ramp. Many captured German rockets were tested here and later, the American rockets that were made with the captured German technology.
