Nice pic, but that's not a V-1. It's a USAF Loon which was U.S. made.

Sorry, the aerofiles site has that photo labeled as a captured V-1 but
since it came from Wright Field testing it had to be a JB-2 Loon.

Notice, however, that the Loon is also described as being catapult
launched since the "pulsejet would only operate in forward flight". So
nice of that to be mentioned.
