Some of the projects on Orive Alba's calendar are called Mexican TVAs. One will dam the picturesque Papaloapan River near Veracruz, another will use the waters of the Rio del Fuerte, near the Gulf of California, in northwest Mexico.

The V-2 project (code name "E.W.," for Elektromechanische Werke) was pushed with all the secrecy and urgency which surrounded the U.S. "Manhattan District." The rockets were developed and tested at Peenemünde on the Baltic, and manufactured in a vast underground factory at Nordhausen, east of Kassel...
