From a review of research and development in guided missiles by the United States Air Force from 1919 to 1948. A JB-2 (Jet Bomb 2) "Loon" based on the German V-1 buzz bomb, surface-to-surface missile. Technicians examine a scale model of the JB-2 missile. Air Force research and development of American type JB-2 missile, the first unmanned guided missile in America's arsenal. A JB-2 is launched from Santa Rosa Island, Florida. A rocket assists in take off. The rocket unit falls away immediately after JB-2 rises into the air. A control aircraft flies overhead showing JB-2 launchings at Eglin Field. JB-2 in flight. The JB-2 was sub-contracted by Republic: Airframe by Willys-Overland; Engine by Ford Motor Company, the IJ-15-1, which copied the German V-1's 900-lb. thrust Argus-Schmidt pulse-jet; Guidance by Jack and Heintz Company; Launch System by Monsanto; Rocket launch sleds by Northrop..

Animation demonstrating how a V-1 rocket, an early cruise missile developed in Germany during World War 2, is launched from a launching catapult ramp. Sectional view of launch ramp, also known as a Walter catapult. Piston for the launch ramp is installed. V-1 rocket is attached to ramp. Cross sectional view of ramp shows hydrogen peroxide (T-Stoff) mixing with sodium permanganate (Z-Stoff) to produce the steam for launch. The steam pushes against the piston to propel V-1 up the ramp. Piston falls away after launch. V-1 animation shows configuration for launch from an airplane. V-1 attached to bottom of plane ready for launch.
