  Lone Sentry: Portable Flame Throwers, German (WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, April 1944)

The effect of the flame thrower is chiefly psychological.

 Chapter 15: The Flame Thrower in the Pacific: Marianas to Okinawa
Although the portable flame thrower gradually proved to be an effective weapon against the Japanese, one of its inherent disadvantages, the vulnerability of the operator, suggested the portable's installation in an armored vehicle.
The truth was that the two types of flame throwers supplemented one another; the mechanized afforded greater protection to the operator and delivered larger amounts of flame for longer distances, while the portable, capable of quicker and more flexible employment, attacked targets inaccessible to the tank-mounted type.
Flame thrower operator casualties were light, malfunctions rare, and assault teams successful in the large majority of their missions.

The effective range of the large flame throwers is about 40 yards, whereas that of the small equipment is unlikely to exceed 30 yards.

All flame throwers shipped to the Southwest Pacific or carried as equipment by units arriving in the area were thoroughly tested, repaired, and waterproofed by trained technicians under the direction of Colonel Copthorne and his staff.

 Flamethrower Summary
The first modern flame thrower was invented in 1901, and was used by the Germans during World War I. It consisted of a pack containing a liquid agent worn by the soldier, a hose connected to the liquid agent, and a nozzle that measured the amount of liquid released.
A flamethrower projects liquid rather than flame so the flaming liquid jet can be 'bounced' off walls or ceilings to project the fire into unseen spaces such as the interior of bunkers or pillboxes.
Accurate to popular belief, flamethrower-wielding infantry could easily be burned alive should their equipment be hit by a bullet (as was portrayed in movies such as When Trumpets Fade), because the pressurized fluid would rush out and be ignited either by the bullet impact or the lighter on the device itself.
