Le Prieur rocket

Le Prieur rockets were a type of incendiary air-to-air rocket used in World War I against observation balloons and airships. They were invented by the French lieutenant Yves Le Prieur and were first used in the Battle of Verdun in May 1916. Due to great inaccuracy their range was limited to about 115 metres.
