TONKA-259 was 50% xylidine and 50% triethylamine by weight. In the United States the preferred amine was aniline, an organic base belonging to the phenylamines. In this case it was an ammonia in which one hydrogen atom was replaced by the radical phenyl. Other US fuels in the family included Hydyne.

Wasserfall Seminal German storable propellant surface-to-air missile, tested during World War II, but never operational. The rocket was copied in the USA as the Hermes surface-to-surface missile, in the USSR as the R-101, and in France as the R.04. In Russia it also became the starting point for the R-11/R-17 Scud surface-to-surface missile.
