The only genuine V1 I have ever seen was at the old Flight Museum at Ontario CA airport, It was especially rare in that it had a cockpit as part of a research project to find out why early V1s were veering off course after launch. Hanna Rauch, Hitler's favorite female pilot found out that the problem was with Gyros dumping [yes she rode one and survived]. 3 Quote Link to comment

Including the B17 that spotted the sister ship of the Musashi and Yamato [yeah there were 3 keels laid down] on its way to be refitted as an Aircraft carries near Kobe. The hull was fire bombed until it sank as a cherry red hulk. Not yet discovered unlike its 2 battle ship sisters. 1 Quote Link to comment
