This four page article features 8 high resolution images, including detailed schematics of the missile. One of the engineers involved in the project, Dr. Gerhard Braun, was a key figure in the development of the Hecht and Feuerlilie anti-aircraft rockets at LFA Braunschweig during WW II. If anyone has further information on the German personnel involved in the project, let me know.
