#3 I recall one of the early V2 tests at Ft Bliss Tx/White Sands ended up in Juarez Mexico. Hate it when those things happen. Oops.

Damn! Really? I would have loved to have talked to the ground crew when the path became apparent. Course it's hard to understand what a buncha Nazis would think about droping an IRBM on a neighboring country. You see, it was a long time ago, different time. Things were different then. Rocket fuel could be safely mixed with orange juice and quality tobacco was available to soothe the rough edges of diplomacy.
