P.S. Sadly, Mark Wade is continuing the mythology that the A-9/A-10 ICBM
was to be manned. Bah!

I am not so sure of that!

Check out

http://www.luftarchiv.de/

search on A9 and you will see several versions of a piloted A9, but will
have to be able to read German. My German is not that good so I cannot
tell if there is historical documents to back this up, on that page.
Tho there is a drawing of that page that looks as if it came from some
archive!
