When Spitfires Intercepted Cruise Missiles with Wing Tips
At the crack of dawn on June 13, 1944, soldiers stationed in Woolwich, London, find themselves caught off guard as air-raid sirens suddenly blare, signaling a new threat. A mysterious, fast-moving object streaks across the sky, evading their anti-aircraft fire. This marked the first sighting of the V-1 flying bomb, a weapon unlike any other, designed to wreak havoc from hundreds of miles away with no pilot in control. The RAF scrambled to develop new strategies and aircraft, leading to a daring encounter with Field Officer Kenneth Roy Collier, who discovered a way to stop the V-1s mid-flight. His actions would inspire a new form of defense and play a key role in thwarting the deadly attacks on London.
