{"product_id":"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.","brand":"Periscope Film","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051165171952,"sku":"9781940453293","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940453293_p0.jpg?v=1763666900","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940453293","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
