"Flame Thrower in Medium Tank" instructs the viewer on how to properly maintain the flamethrowers then used in medium-sized Sherman tanks (the M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II). The narrator and on-screen tank maintenance crew chief first point out the individual components that make up the flame thrower before diving deep into the various maintenance and preventative measures necessary for the proper functioning of the weapon. (Note: The M4 A2 was typically equipped with bow mounted E4-5 flamethrowers. These were often referred to as "Ronson" or "Zippo" tanks and proved highly effective in clearing enemy positions in the Battle of Iwo Jima.)
