  • Abstract
    One of the most closely guarded technical secrets of World War II, the proximity fuse was developed to counteract the natural defenses of both the airplane and the infantry. This review of the conception, the construction, and use of the fuse reveals how almost 100 per cent accuracy was built into the artillery of the Allies in World War II.
