Overall: Three citations needed. Source cited for hook does not support hook; it refers to 11 rockets, type unspecified, and makes no mention of this being well known incident.

Maury Markowitz: Let's set aside the quibbles about "widely known" and "well known" for a moment. How about the fact that the anonymous rockets were not necessarily 2 inch RP missiles? And the citations needed?
