intranetusa - deleted the part about the Greek inventor because it wasn't a rocket. I looked up his article and it said he "might" have invented an early steam device, not a rocket device.

[edit] Use by Mongol forces

Can anyone explain what could possibly be meant by a Mongolian invasion of Japan? I didn't think they ever got that far -- were there perhaps some naval skirmishes? -- Visviva 08:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

They did. Around 3 invasions. 1st one failed before they got there because of the typhoon. In the rest of the 2 invasions, the typhoon damaged the Mongol navy badly, but they managed to get on land. Even then, they had many internal disputes and poor leadership. They lost. (Wikimachine 20:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC))

The only 3 invasions of Japan in history, all thwarted by bad weather... -- Миборовский 02:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

-intraetusa - yeh, the three typhoons were called "kamakazies" or divine wind because it saved Japan.

[edit] Korean variant?

Can anyone familiar with Fire Arrows take a guess as to whether this is a Fire Arrow? -- Visviva 08:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

That is a Dae-Singijeon. Take a look at the fully revised Singijeon article. It is really large & had to be launched individually. (Wikimachine 20:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
