ISBN: 9781847910684 Author: AFV School Publisher: War Office First Edition Published: 1945 Reprinted: 2007 Pages: 160 Illustrations: 42 Indexed: Yes Book Description The Crocodile Flame Throwing equipment was one of the modifications made to the Churchill tank, and proved to be of significant value in the fighting following D-Day and the invasion of Normandy. It was particularly suited to flushing pill boxes, woods and built-up areas and highly respected by those who used it, and feared by the Germans. This manual is a typescript manuscript covering the equipment and its maintenance together with a number of observations on its use. It is extremely rare, and this reprint is an essential tool in any study of infantry-tank cooperation or of the characteristics and use of specialised armour.
