Historical Description:

The 3-inch 60lb rockets were introduced by the RAF towards the end of World War II as highly effective air-to-ground armament. Thanks to their powerful warhead and rapid adaptation to various aircraft types, they dominated attacks on German tanks and convoys during the Normandy landings and the fighting in Western Europe. They were also used in Asia against Japanese forces.
