Description:
From the d.j. flap: "During WWII, in 1942-1943, the American military worked on a project that would include millions of bats with small incendiary bombs attached to them. The plan was to release the bats into Japan and fires would flare up all over and destroy millions of wood and paper buildings. Even President Roosevelt backed the scheme. It might have worked, except that another secret weapon--something to do with atoms--was chosen to end the war."20 pages of b/w photos. A Gift Inscription on title page from one brother to the other: "A Whole New Meaning to 'Bats in the Belfry'. Merry Christmas!

Condition of hardcover: Fine, As New (never read). Stored in temperature-controlled book cabinet -- free of smelly damp smells and smoker's smell. Dustjacket: Minor shelf wear, else Near Fine. It was World War II and anything was possible. All the United States had to do was to attach small incendiary bombs to millions of bats and release them over Japan's major cities. As the bats went to roost, a million fires would flare up in remote crannies of the wood and paper buildings common throughout Japan. When their cities were reduced to ashes, the Japanese would surely capitulate. This is the story of the unusual bat bomb project, or Project X-Ray. For everyone who relishes true tales of action and adventure, Bat Bomb is a must-read. Historical. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer…

The dust jacket has some light rubbing and wear along with a couple of small edge tears. "Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats, which would then disperse and roost in eaves and attics in a 2040-mile radius (3264 km). The incendiaries, which were set on timers, would then ignite and start fires in inaccessible places in the largely…
