 * Symbol question.svg Date, size, refs, hook, copyvio, etc. all check out. The only problem is with a QPQ (missing) and the hooks wording. First one has a clarification request in the article (needs a bit more expansion and explanation) and the hook should also be clear that the parts were probably stolen by Soviets. Second needs a wording change, "that the first of 139 launches" should be " that the first of 139 V-2 launches " and is otherwise GTG. Third is just too long. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  14:43, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your review. I've taken your advice and made some amendments to the wording. I wasn't aware of the QPQ rule (I just had to look it up), so will give that my attention as soon as I have a spare moment. Kind regards --  Marek . 69   talk   15:47, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * All three hooks are clear now. This will be GTG when the QPQ is completed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:00, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * QPQ now completed. Apologies for delay, but I have limited experienced in DYK. -- Marek . 69   talk   02:05, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
