T66 4.5-inch Multiple Rocket Launcher.

In 1944 and 1945, 500 T66 multiple rocket launchers were manufactured. They saw service in the Second World War and the Korean War. The self-contained system had built-in azimuth and elevation adjustments and electrically fired rockets. It was light, easy to maneuver, and could put down a devastating volume of fire in a short time. These features were needed, because the back-blast and rocket smoke produced during firing instantly revealed the launcher's position.
