This 1949 US Army Chemical Corps study examines the history and
development of man-portable and mechanized flamethrowers (Allied
and Axis); their use in the South Pacific, Central Pacific, and the
CBI as well as North Africa and Europe; and their employment
against the Allies. It is rich in anecdotes and descriptions of
company and platoon level combat. A summary section examines issues
ranging from tactics, training and employment to maintenance,
supply, and fuels. This study includes 21 appendices mainly
training memoranda, pamphlets, and training circulars. There are an
additional 32 sketches and photographs. This is a high resolution
typescript that was never published; it was a first draft
circulated for comments. Image and type clarity are very good.
