The V1 (Fieseler Fi 103) was a cruise missile weapon deployed by Germany from June 1944 onwards against England and later against liberated territories in Western Europe. Jack Lieb documented it during his time in England and in the Allied advance area. In the context of Lieb’s film, the V1 belongs to the phase of preparations and stay in England, where Allied troops and correspondents experienced German attacks with weapons of retaliation. As a rare color footage of a flying specimen, the still image possesses documentary value beyond the otherwise almost exclusively black-and-white surviving visual material on this weapon system.
