How One Engineer's "Magic" Fuze Let Shells Explode in Mid-Air, Annihilating V-1 Bombs
#WW2Weapons, #MilitaryInnovation, #V1FlyingBomb

In 1944, a new terror filled the skies over London: the V-1 flying bomb. Germany's vengeance weapon was fast, relentless, and nearly impossible to shoot down with conventional anti-aircraft guns. As the city reeled under this "Second Blitz," a top-secret Allied invention was rushed to the front lines, a piece of technology so advanced it was considered impossible.

This is the story of the proximity fuze—a miniature radio packed into an artillery shell, allowing it to sense its target and explode in mid-air. We uncover the incredible science, the secret missions, and the brilliant engineering behind the "magic" fuze that created an invisible wall of steel to save thousands of lives and change the course of the war.
