Mystic Tsar Boris may have died by Mystic Adolf Hitler's orders. Prince Cyril declared on the witness stand that he was "convinced" that the Nazis had murdered his brother. On the return flight from Germany, said Cyril, Tsar Boris was given an oxygen mask impregnated with "a strong solution" which caused embolism and death. The Germans claimed that he died of a heart attack and a lung ailment...
...organic and inorganic chemistry. Organic plastics have poor resistance to heat and cold; at extreme temperatures they become brittle or soft. This fault is overcome in the silicones by replacing the carbon atoms in organic compounds with a much tougher combination of silicon (basic ingredient of sand) and oxygen. The result is a material combining the flexibility of plastics with great resistance to heat, water and air. Some silicones can withstand temperatures from 60 below zero Fahrenheit to 575 above...
...concrete pits. Some experts thought it could have been launched from barges off the Dutch coast. V-2 was variously reported to be guided by radio, by gyro compass, by fins, by spinning. But on one thing experts agreed: V-2 is a self-contained rocket, carrying its own oxygen and traveling at such speed (1,000 to 3,500 m.p.h.) that ordinary antiaircraft defenses are useless against...
...consensus: V-2 is probably propelled by alcohol or gasoline and liquid oxygen. It has a warhead with about a ton of explosive, a supply of compressed gas (perhaps nitrogen) to force the fuel into the combustion chamber, and fins to keep it on a set course. It is believed to carry at least seven times the weight of its explosive in fuel. It probably has a series of jets, operated in succession to keep the rocket going on its long course (and perhaps helpful also in steering). One plausible reconstruction, by Martial & Scull, Manhattan industrial designers, indicated a steering...
According to a sectional diagram in the London Daily Express, a radio control unit is mounted immediately behind the warhead. Then come hydrocarbon and liquid oxygen fuel chambers, a centrifugal compressor, a combustion chamber, and a set of tail fins 10 ft. long...
