New techniques in aerial torpedo attack, United States. An aircraft in flight over a sea. The aircraft releases torpedo in water. Torpedo moves. Men haul trolley loaded with the torpedo. The shroud ring or ring tail is in conjunction with the drag ring on nose of the torpedo. Using ring tail and drag ring with wooden stabilizer results in successful test drops. A man secures the stabilizer to ring tail with wooden dowels. The man covers the torpedo with a drag ring which helps to stabilize the torpedo during air travel, and seals the ring.
