An illustrated history of the signal pistols, flare guns and light signalling equipment used by the Polish Army before the Second World War, based on archival research and rare historical material.
Signal Pistols
Signal pistols formed an essential part of tactical communications in the Polish Army during the interwar period. Using coloured flares to transmit pre-arranged signals, they enabled units to maintain contact, coordinate artillery fire and communicate across the battlefield whenever conventional means of communication proved unreliable.
This richly illustrated volume presents the signal pistols and flare guns used by the Polish Army, together with their ammunition, transport cases, experimental designs and previously unidentified prototypes discovered in archival records. It also explores the development of military light signalling and the efforts made to improve this important battlefield communication system before the outbreak of the Second World War.
