Auxiliary Flame Throwers Made in Hawaii

Marines and infantrymen in the Pacific had hastened the development of auxiliary flame throwers and they were anxious to obtain the weapons. 

One hundred and seventy-six of these were completed for the Tenth Army. They were on hand for the Okinawa and Iwo Jima campaigns, but they were not used extensively because Hawaiian-produced main armament flame throwers, preferred for their large fuel capacity and greater range, were also available for these battles.
