{{Topquote|By the rocket's red glare~!|From the United States National Anthem, Star-Spangled Banner.}} The T27 Xylophone was an early Rocket Battery used by the United States army during the latter part of World War II. In Flames of War, it is mounted on a truck for mobility, but in reality, it was more often assembled and then fired from a stationary position.

The Xylophone was typical of rocket artillery of the period: potentially deadly, noisy, terrifying, and slow as hell to reload. It only saw service in Europe and was phased out of service after the end of the war. In spite of this, the Xylophone was used in some units as late as the Vietnam war, which isn't bad for a 20-year-old design. {{Template:US Forces in Flames of War}}
