A detailed guide to the chemicals used in the production of military pyrotechnics, written by two experts in the field and published by the U.S. Army Ordnance Department.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Focusing on the chemical processes used in military pyrotechnics, this comprehensive volume explores the various chemicals involved in manufacturing flares, smoke, and incendiary devices. Each chapter details the properties and reactions of these substances, along with essential safety precautions for handling and disposal. Aimed at professionals in the field, it serves as a crucial resource for understanding both the production and safe use of military pyrotechnics. This edition is a facsimile reprint of the original 1919 work, preserving its historical significance.
