Full title : The Land Mattress in Canadian Service
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Land Mattress was Canada's answer to the terrifying German Nebelwerfer or Russian Katyusha that is still in use today, the forerunner of the MLRS in the United States. The book is divided logically into several sections, covering the early days of rocket weaponry in the British and Canadian Armies, a discussion of the roles of guns vs. rocket artillery, the development of the Land Mattress in particular, the production of the weapon, the trials in the field, and the combat employment of the weapon, as well as an epilogue describing RCEME support to the artillerymen using this equipment.

Doug Knight is a retired Army officer with an engineering degree and a deep knowledge of technical matters germane to the Royal Canadian Artillery and Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
