Your uncle is correct that some Sherman variants did come equiped with a flame thrower. The Firefly was not one of them.
Just a suggestion here, but you have access on these forums to people that have been researching and studying WWII for 20, 30, 40 years. Some even longer than that. Instead of coming on here and saying, "I'm right and all of you are wrong because my uncle told me so, and I saw it on TV" you might want to do some independant research on your own.
Many people have posted links to the correct information. You have provided NO proof to back up your claim. Hmmmm who would I listen too??
I'll take the word of a person who provides specific data that supports a claim concerning information regarding a plane, tank, ship, or anything else for that matter, over some kid who's only referance is, "I saw it on TV, and my uncle told me."
The simple truth of the matter is this. You DO NOT know what you are talking about and no one is going to take anything you say seriously until you demonstrate some maturity and a willingness to investigate and learn about whatever topic you want to discuss.
