Abstract
The invention disclosed is a floating incendiary device adapted to be dropped from an aircraft onto a combustible material on a body of water. The device includes means for directing the resulting heat by convection and radiation to concentrate on a particular area of the combustible material for a time sufficient to raise the temperature of the combustible material to its fire point to produce ignition and self-sustaining combustion of the combustible material. A novel incendiary composition for use with the device is also disclosed.
