Bumper WAC B-7 and B-8

Fashioned from a captured German V-2 missile and an American-made upper stage, the Bumper WAC rockets were the first practical two-stage rockets. On July 24, 1950, Bumper WAC Round B-8 became the first rocket to fly from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This footage is taken from the rocket.aero DVD "The V-2 in America."
