Title

Honest John Rocket

Description

Front: Honest John Rocket, Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama.
Back: HONEST JOHN ROCKET, REDSTONE ARSENAL
Capable of carrying both atomic and high explosive warheads, this long-range Army artillery rocket is used tactically to provide close fire support to ground combat operations. The weapon has considerably more battlefield mobility than conventional artillery and one high explosive round can deliver on the target, the demolition effect of hundreds of artillery shells.
