This first volume provides a comprehensive study of the specialized vehicles developed for the V2 rocket programme. Subjects include the Meillerwagen, Vidalwagen, liquid trailers, gantry cranes and the rail wagons used for launching, together with other essential transport and support equipment. Each type is presented through period photographs, detailed drawings, original designs and technical data drawn from contemporary documentation. Production figures and the deployment of Division z.V. are also examined in depth.

The book comprises 384 pages in hardcover, landscape format, with text in both English and German. More than 275 rare and previously unpublished photographs are included, alongside reproductions of original documents and a complete set of 1/35 scale drawings. This volume will be of particular interest to historians and scale modellers seeking new and authoritative reference material.

Part 1 focuses on design and production. Part 2 will address training and operational deployment.
