Is it possible the Arabs used Greek Fire?

Salve, Gaius

That's what I thought. It was fairly early and an actual predecessor of the Vietnam Era flamethrower, not the one used in WWII which used kerosene. Not sure why it went out of favor, possibly too difficult to keep in repair. I suppose there may have been a moral reason, but I doubt it. :roll:
