About the book

Some weapons are winners, some are epic failures--and this entertaining, informative guide looks at the guns, tanks, ships, and aircraft that went really wrong. They range from the early version of the M16 assault rifle, which broke down regularly in Vietnam, to the Douglas X-3 Stiletto, designed to explore the "supersonic flight environment," but incapable of passing the speed of sound.
