{"product_id":"torpedo-instruction-pamphlet-ts-5-9781940453293","title":"Torpedo Instruction Pamphlet TS-5","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Periscope Film LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940453293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.99w x 1.19d","brand":"Fleet Torpedo School, United States Navy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671493144732,"sku":"9781940453293","price":39.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f7440a8a-6385-47c5-8aff-a22e01be6d35.jpg?v=1603925530","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/torpedo-instruction-pamphlet-ts-5-9781940453293","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
