V-2

Here's a small sample of the incredibly detailed discussion of the V-2 rocket in Fedosiev's textbook:



The V-2 Pheumo-Hydraulic System



The V-2 Program Timing Unit

I wonder as you get through that, if you'll find any definitive answers to the combustion instability question you raised below?

Probably not from this book.  I suspect that the V-2 engine, with its recessed cup-shaped pre-burners, accidently formed anti-oscillation baffle.  But nobody would have realized that in the 1940s.
