German Flamethrower Pioneers of World War I by Schiffer Publishing

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

German Flamethrower Pioneers of World War I is the definitive reference on the topic. Lavishly illustrated, its main sources are the history of the flamethrower regiment, written by its former commander; a manual of assault-troop and flamethrower tactics, by a former flamethrower officer; and the death book published by veterans of the flamethrower regiment. Prewar, wartime, and postwar developments are covered, along with detailed descriptions of weapons, tactics, and epic flame battles. New information, such as the combat use of an aircraft-mounted flamethrower, is included. Includes over 300 photographs and illustrations, most previously unpublished.[AuthorName]By (author) Thomas Wictor[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Thomas Wictor is the author of five books.
