EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph from the Illustrated London News, dated 1944, offers a fascinating comparison of the intricacies of the German V2 rocket bomb, a weapon that terrorized Europe during World War II. The image features a detailed side-by-side comparison of the V2 and its predecessor, the V1, showcasing the significant size difference between the two. The V2, with its sleek, conical shape and towering height, dwarfs the V1's more cylindrical form. For further context, the photograph also includes a London bus and a house, providing a sense of scale. Another intriguing aspect of this image is the comparison of the V2's fuel economy with that of a Lancaster bomber. The caption notes that the V2 consumed "double the fuel in a minute" as a Lancaster bomber did in an hour. This startling statistic underscores the immense power and efficiency of the V2's engine. The bottom half of the photograph reveals a cutaway diagram of the V2's internal workings. The intricate mechanism, with its interconnected systems and meticulously labeled components, offers a glimpse into the complex engineering that made the V2 a formidable weapon. The top cross-section view provides a clear understanding of the rocket's structure and the various stages of its fuel consumption. This double-page spread from the Illustrated London News serves as a captivating reminder of the technological advancements and innovations that shaped the Second World War, as well as the devastating consequences of these weapons of war.
