DescriptionThis rocket launcher, also known as a Bazooka, was an electrically operated, breech-loading weapon intended to be fired from the shoulder. It launched high-explosive rockets against tanks and other armored vehicles. The 2.36 Inch MAIA was manufactured for the use of the U.S. Army between July and October 1943, providing the earliest date range within which Falasco could have designed the poster.On View
