Pyrotechnics: Civil and Military (1943) G.W. Weingart Cloth Hardcover Acceptable

Chemical Publishing Co., 1943. Cloth bound hardcover of Pyrotechnics: Civil and Military by G.W. Weingart.

This 1943 printing of George Weingart's classic work is a rare wartime edition that directly reflects the technological demands of World War II.

This volume is an expanded, revised version of Weingart's original 1937 manual, but it was notably re-titled Pyrotechnics: Civil and Military, shifting focus from recreational fireworks to the military importance of flares, signals, and tracer compounds during the war.

A rare edition that bridges the gap between the 1937 original and the more famous 1947 second edition, capturing the book's significance to the war effort.

Acceptable. Ex-library copy rebound in library casing. Ex-library markings, stamps and stickers. Page 219 is torn from the binding and is loosely inserted in place. Light liquid stains with slight rippling throughout. Occasional light pencil markings that do not obscure text. A few creased page corners. Acceptable but flawed reading copy of a rare edition.
