mmerc20 Posted May 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2013 Does anyone have a photo of what a typical WWII flamethrower training range would look like? In my exploration of an old base I have come across three flamethrower targets and I'm curious how the original range would have been set up. Is there any manual out there that shows a typical layout? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
