Fighter aircraft were not the only effective weapons against the V-1. The
combination of the proximity fuze and radar controlled guns (SCR-584) stopped a
lot of buzz bombs. Either alone would not have been anything like as effective.

Also, by carefully created disinformation, the Brits were able to "walk" the
targeting away from vital areas into the surrounding countryside. They modified
the media reports of impact locations, and the Germans "corrected" their azimuth
and range settings, based on the falsified impact locations.

Clever folks,
