Description: This KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES VIKING ROCKET SHIP LAUNCHER WITH ROCKETS was produced in recognition of the advanced rockets the U.S. developed following WWII. Here's a quote from an article: After World War II, the United States Army experimented with captured German V-2 rockets as part of the Hermes program. The number of V-2s available for all research was limited and Hermes was an Army project. The U.S. Navy had the need to develop advanced missiles for both weapons and research purposes. The U.S. Navy issued a contract 21 August 1946 to the Glenn L. Martin Company for a series of 10 large liquid-fueled rockets. The intent was to provide an independent U.S. capability in rocketry, and to provide a vehicle better suited to scientific research. Originally dubbed "Neptune," it was renamed "Viking" in 1947 to avoid confusion with the Lockheed P-2 Neptune. The Viking was the most advanced large, liquid-fueled rocket being developed in the U.S. at the time. This little launcher works perfectly and as you can tell from the photos, it and the rockets themselves, are in perfect condition. Included is the paper insert with instructions on how the unit works (see photos). This is a very hard to find collectible cereal premium. So this is someone's opportunity to add a truly rare item to their collection. Email your questions and be sure to check my other items for more great cereal premiums and other collectibles.
