DEFENDERS OF AMERICA*
THE "HONEST JOHN" ARTILLERY ROCKET
The HONEST JOHN is a long range artillery rocket. Capable of carrying
both atomic and high explosive warheads, it will be used tactically to
provide close fire support in ground combat operations. Approaching the
accuracy of standard artillery weapons, the HONEST JOHN is a free flight
rocket as distinguished from guided missiles. It is simple to operate and
has considerably more battlefield mobility than conventional artillery. One
high explosive round can deliver on a target the demolition effect of hun-
dreds of artillery shells.
