Hi,

If anyone is interested in chemical munitions just check out this document of mine on Sricbd. You will find at the end that it contains heaps of coloured illustrations of chemical & smoke munitions towards the last half of the file.

Here is the link;

And if you follow this link you will see my toxic smoke candle from a previous post of mine.

I have a heap of information on chemical and smoke munitions gleaned from different sources, but too much to post here. For a good source of information on Japanese chemical munitions see the book mentioned in this post:

Also check out the website which will have something for everybody no mater what your focus of interest;

I've had this one for a few years, it's a good booklet. I was always curious as to why they only covered parts of the the pyrotechnic CW - none of the projos, mortars, bombs, etc. I know that at least a little of the info was out by 1943, perhaps the release was limited?
