V-2 Engine: This engine and tail section are identical to the ones of the "Vengeance Weapon-2" (V-2), the world's first long-range ballistic missile. The V-2 was used by Nazi Germany toward the end of World War II as a terror weapon against London and Antwerp, Belgium, as well as other Allied targets. The V-2 consumed liquid oxygen and alcohol as propellants and the combustion chamber was regeneratively cooled by the alcohol. In all likelihood, this engine was recovered from a crashed V-2 rocket.
