Duplicate post from the History forum...

Title says it all... I know you guys in here already have great resources, so I'll save myself endless searching.

Thanks!

Not bad...

Here's the scoop: it's for a presentation (work-related) showing the history of missile defense. A photo showing a British AA gun defending against V-1 bombs is what I'm really looking for. If it shows it in action; great. Otherwise, just a static shot will do.

It has to be British (in Britain), and it has to be WW2. Let's just say that the audience is well informed, and will know the difference.

If you have anything like that, I'd appreciate a scan. If you have multiple examples, you decide which one is best. If not, one of the links you posted may do the trick.

Thanks Brady :)

The film, where an english agent is sent into a factory where work is being carried out on developing V2 rockets, has footage of AA shooting at V1 rockets. I can't recall the name of the film but it is from the 50s or 60 by MGM.
