BUCKINGHAM

The Buckingham bullet (Mk VII bullet) was a British incendiary bullet based on phosphor, invented by James Buckingham in 1914 and adopted by the RFC for use against airships during the Great War. The bullet contained an incendiary filling which percolated through an annular hole, the seal of which melted on firing, and ignited on contact with the air.
