V2 steering

The V2 used carbon steering vanes in the exhaust stream that were controlled by gyroscopes.

Google [v2 steering vanes] - without brackets. Many hits and images.

The steering "program" must have been pre-loaded before launch to achieve targeting. Maybe just direction and burn time. Fuel load?
