List of V-2 test launches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the known test launches of the A4 rocket, better known as the V-2 rocket, which were made at Peenemünde, Blizna and Tuchola Forest. All launches at these sites were experimental launches. From none of these sites A4-rockets were launched for war use, because these sites did not allow with the range of the A4 launching them against targets in aliied territory.
All these lists may be incomplete and incorrect. Please correct and expand.
