World's Weirdest Weapons

Description: Unorthodox military weapons - some brilliant, some far-fetched, and some so bizarre that they never made it off the drawing board - are revealed in this series. The weapons - each constructed to solve a tactical or strategic problem such as overcoming Nazi defences on D-Day or mounting a surprise attack over water - include a US smart bomb piloted by live pigeons, a jet pack used by flying soldiers, an incendiary bombing program that used bats released from aircraft, and a giant Catherine Wheel. Also, the programme introduces viewers to the ingenious people who invented these devices.
