Created during WWII as an official training manual for the Fleet
Torpedo School, this whopping 575+ page "pamphlet" contains
everything you ever wanted to know about aircraft-launched
torpedoes. Within its pages you'll find rare photographs and
diagrams as well as informative text. This includes a brief history
of the torpedo and a full rundown of the Mark 13, the first
American torpedo to be designed solely for aircraft launch
(although, they were also used aboard P.T. Boats). Chapters
include: exercise heads and attachments, war head and attachments,
air flask and midship section, reducing, superheating system and
starting gear, propulsion mechanism, depth control mechanism, gyro
mechanism including a description of Gyro Mark 12-1, adjustment and
tests, and a discussion of loading, air trajectory and stabilizers.
Originally restricted, this manual was declassified long ago. This
high quality facsimile was created from a rare original. It
presents the book in its entirety for the first time in 70 years.
