I am looking for a reference book which shows detailed pictures
and drawings of the German V I, or the American built version
nicknamed the "Thunderbug". I thumbed through one very good book 
at a hobby store once, however I can't remember the title or any
other details.

The Ordnance Museum here at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md 21005, has a V1 and
a V2.  Come on over with your metre stick and measure to your heart's content.
The phone number is 301-278-3602.  They are closed 1 day a week, Monday, 
I think.  They might have a book.

I believe there is a V1/V2 volume in the "Waffen Arsenal" series.
These are photo books much like the "Squadron Signal" series. They
typically have 50+ BW photos/drawings with German captions. The photos
are usually very good and include detail shots. They are well
worth the $7 price (IMHO). Available from well stocked hobby shops or
e-mail me for a mail order source.
