- on January 1, 1945, a 4th Fighter Group pilot observed a Big Ben "act up for firing near Lochem ... the rocket was immediately tilted from 85 deg. to 30 deg",
- a B-24 Liberator of the 34th Bombardment Group over the Low Countries at ~10,000 feet saw a rocket climb through the formation like "a telephone pole with fire squirting from out of its tail. ...a left waist gunner in our squadron let fly a burst and down it went". The unit painted a V-2 on the B-24 such as one would mark a downed enemy aircraft.

How do you write a looping program to check whether input is a buzz number or not?
Buzz numbers are aircraft identification numbers that were applied to American aircraft following the second world war and through the 1960's. To determine if an input is a buzz number or not, the input must consist of a two- or three-letter manufacturing code and a 3-digit number, separated by a hyphen. The digits are generally the last three digits of the aircraft serial number. Validating the manufacturing code is relatively simple given there were only 173 issued. However, validating the three-digit code would be impossible without a complete list of all aircraft that were assigned a buzz number. If such a list exists, storing them in sequential order would allow your program to perform a fast binary search to determine if the input were valid or not. In the absence of such a list, the manufacturing code alone would at least tell you which type of aircraft the buzz number (if valid) would have applied to.
