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 an incendiary composition in the form of a disc which is ignited peripherally and burns inwardly. The incendiary composition is sandwiched between a pair of discs which direct the resulting flame radially outwardly over the surface of the combustible material during the burn time of the incendiary composition for a time sufficient to raise the temperature of the combustible material to its fire point to produce ignition and selfsustaining combustion of the combustible material.
