according to mathew winston's biographical piece from 1975, trp could have
got the first idea for gr as early as 1954. beeing home on long island for
college hollidays, he could have read an article on an exhibition about the v
1 in a local paper called "oyster bay guardian". on 2/7/54 (- that is july)
the headline went: "hitler's secret weapon to look at in greenvale" (- once
more re-translated from the german translation).
