Description
“How Good are Our War Weapons” by Major Malcom Wheeler-Nicholson. Excerpted from the article: “The bugs in America's military equipment are pointed out frankly in this authoritative article. The offense wins in war today. On land, the offense now depends almost entirely upon applied mechanics… But just how good are America's mechanized striking forces at present?”
Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson was an American military officer and pulp magazine writer. He pioneered the American comic book industry when he published the first such periodical consisting solely of original material rather than reprints of newspaper comic strips. He launched the magazine comics company National Allied Publications in 1935, which would evolve to become DC Comics.
The article evaluates the capabilities of America's World War II weapons, comparing U.S. tanks, aircraft, artillery, warships, and infantry arms with those of the Axis powers. Explains the strengths and weaknesses of current military equipment, advances in weapons technology, and the nation's expanding war production. Includes photos of and info on:
