Ballistic Missile diagram

Original - The V-2 rocket was the first ballistic missile and first man-made object to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight, the progenitor of all modern rockets including the Saturn V moon rocket. Over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets in World War II, resulting in the death of 7,250, military personnel and civilians.

Reason

An .svg diagram of the V-2 Ballistic Missile which clearly labels each part of the missile. I think this image meets the FPC criteria, and definietly adds to the encyclopedia, and thus I am nominating the image for FPC status.

• Support. A fine diagram.--ragesoss (talk) 19:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Good diagram and needs the support. Diagrams do find it a lot harder to pass here as it is harder to find 'wow' in them, I suppose. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 19:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
