Two new types of rockets which add ma terially to U. S. firepower are disclosed by the Navy’s Bureau of Ordnance. They are the spinner and the high velocity aircraft rocket (HVAR). Less than a month after the HVAR went into production, it went into action in Nor mandy. The spinner, first produced in Oc tober, 1944, was first used in combat at Iwo Jima in February, 1945'. The spinner is a big brother to the 4.5- inch beach barrage rocket that has been used by both the Army and the Navy since the war’s early amphibious operations. It is designed to be launched from a variety of multiple-tube launchers mounted on either vessels or vehicles. Initial combat use of the HVAR came in the Normandy break-through last July^ Be cause of the urgent need of greater aircraft rocketpower, the entire first month’s pro duction of HVAR’s was allocated to the Army. In Normandy, they were launched from Army P-47’s against locomotives, tanks, armored cars, gun emplacements and concrete defenses. Although its first use was by the Army, the HVAR has been most extensively em ployed by Navy fighter and bomber pilots who affectionately call it the “Holy Moses.” It has proved effective in attacks on ship ping, land installations and other special targets, and has been used to good advan tage in recent aerial strikes on Japanese industrial centers. The speed of the plane gives the HVAR sufficient initial velocity to stabilize it be fore it leaves the lightweight launchers un der the wings. With the plane speed plus that imparted by its own propellant, a high velocity is achieved. It can penetrate the average pillbox with no difficulty and its precision makes it a valuable weapon in knocking out resistance ahead of advancing troops. Monthly output of spinners is constantly increasing. The volume of HVAR’s now be ing manufactured monthly is double that turned out during the entire first six months of production, from June to December, 1944. Girls who close their eyes while kissing.
