V-3 Rocket Details From France Report
The V-3 rocket described from France is a large 60 foot long device using liquid air or liquid oxygen for combustion and alcohol as fuel. It would start almost straight up and may have a 14 ton takeoff weight with an explosive radius near two miles. Its range is likely 50 miles or less and it contrasts with earlier buzz bombs by carrying its own oxidizer. Descriptions note fuel choices and propulsion differences versus German rattle bomb designs.
