- Dornberger, Walter. V-2. Translated by James
Cleugh and Geoffrey Halliday. New York: Ballantine Books, [1952]
1954. LCCN 54-007830.
- This book has been out of print for
more than forty years. Used copies are generally available via
abebooks.com,
but the original Viking Press
hardcover can be quite expensive. It's wisest to opt for the
mass-market Ballantine paperback reprint; copies in perfectly
readable condition can usually be had for about US$5.
Dornberger's account is an insider's view of Peenemünde. For an
historical treatment with more technical detail plus a description of
postwar research using the V-2, see Ordway and Sharpe's 1979 The Rocket Team,
ISBN 0-262-65013-4, also out of print but readily available
used.
