Army and Navy Turn to Rocket Weapons in War Effort
Rockets emerge as a major wartime innovation with widespread use by army air forces and navy units. The M-8 rocket and launcher scales compare with 105 mm guns in power, while production ramps from 1942 to 1945 reach substantial monthly expenditures and broad deployment across aircraft, ships, and ground forces.

Jet Propelled Fighters Set to Lead Air War in Pacific
War production officials say jet propelled fighters will largely replace standard fighter escorts against Japan. Output surges are described as terrific with 1946 forecasts predicting jet planes as the Air Corps’ top item.

A chief drawback is the jet’s high fuel consumption and short range, limiting escort roles to targets near fuel sources until longer range is achieved.
