Anti-Personnel Weapons

Review by Steve Bamford
--------------------

IPMS Canada has produced a 30 page monograph containing specifications, descriptions and illustrations covering the family of Luftwaffe airborne anti-personnel weapons and their associated canisters and containers.

Contained in this monograph are about 25 black and white images like the one to the right.

The images help explain the inner workings of each weapon in featured.

Also included are Specifications for each weapon, including such info as length and other dimensions, weapon wall thickness, total weight of weapon, weight of explosive contained in it and more.

Information explaining the construction of the weapon is also included. This detailed information combined with the cutaway images explains each weapon very well.

Also included is a section on "Containers and Carriers for Anti-Personnel Bombs". This section details the various types of containers and how they were constructed. The booklets continues on to explain how each was used in battle. Also included are text descriptions on the colours of the weapons and containers.

All in all this is a very detailed technical manual that will be of interest to the Luftwaffe modeller looking to further their knowledge to get their weapon loads to a higher level of accuracy.
