By James Merrigan
The EMW A4 is the World War ll German ballistic missile. This is the DML model built straight out of the box here are two pictures of the model on its launching table.
The EMW (Elecktromechanische Werke) A4b piloted version. The A4b was a winged version of the A4 (V2) and two were built. A piloted version was proposed, and it is this version which became the basis of the model. Detailed drawings of the piloted version of the A4b can be found on page 73 of Secret Wonder Weapons of the Third Reich by J. Miranda & P. Mercado.
The EMW A9 was another proposed piloted version of the A4 this time with a so called Gothic wing. Detailed drawings of the a A9 can be found on page 80 of Secret Wonder Weapons of the Third Reich. The A9 was also proposed to be the second stage of the A10 (Projektil Amerika) two stage rocket capable of bombing New York.
