The Operation Crossbow Site is a historic location at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
During World War II, a reconstruction of a German V-1 flying bomb launch site was built to test the measures needed to destroy the actual bases in France.
In January 1944, General Grandison Gardner orders read, "Reproduction of the ski sites in complete detail and destruction in various ways."
The Site was built in a hurry, "working around the clock for 13 days" in 1944 on a "remote part of the Eglin reservation".
"[4] A 2014 Historic American Engineering Record survey noted two existing clusters of buildings, left as they had been in 1944.
