I do not know about the V-1, but I do recall Helly talking about when as a 15/16 year old HYM cadet, he along with four other budding aces, in unpowered Me163's, would be towed behind a Ju52 to glide back to earth, getting practice for their big day! Alas, or good fortune, the advancing Red Army put a stop to his Luftwaffe career!
