"The Northrup design was complex and a team at Wright Field were simultaneously reverse-engineering a German V-2 pulse jet engine."

That would be a V-1. The V-1 was an air breathing jet engine powered aircraft. The V-2 was a rocket powered ballistic missile.

If I had that I'd install it on the front porch, opposite the B-29 belly turret, flanking the front door.

If you took that to your local field where everyone else flies their models and launched it, bragging rights would last the rest of your life.
