Album info My version will be the A4 "Frau im Mond", the fourth launched A4.
It was painted in a high-contrast black and white to better observe and track the movement of the missile during flight.
V4 (fourth launched A4) -"Frau im Mond" was launched on 10/03/1942. It was the first successful start of an A4. It reached a top speed of 4,824 km/h (about Mach 4.5) and reached a top altitude of 84.5 km, thus reaching the frontier of space for the first time. This was the first successful large rocket launch in human history an the first time, a man-made object reached the limits of space.
I really like the high-contrast black/white finish. It goes contrary to the usual finishes in the military sector; an appealing change.
