Project Trojan (XMIN)

During WWII, British intelligence agents hatch a scheme to distract German scientists working on the rocket program with a red herring inspired by a science fiction magazine.

This is a great episode. It's a plausible idea, has lots of witty inserts, and manages to throw in a surprise or two. The script is an original by staff writer Ernest Kinoy, who got the idea from an editorial printed in Galaxy.
