incendiary bomb
Arson device dropped
An incendiary bomb is a weapon designed to start fires rather than destroy through blast force.
It contains flammable materials—phosphorus, napalm, thermite—that ignite on impact and spread burning substance over a wide area.
Incendiary bombs were used extensively in World War II to devastate cities: The incendiary bombing of Dresden created a firestorm.
