Can someone identify teh bomb lying on the ground on this photo. The photo was (supposedly) taken in Poland in 1939 and shows a PZL-37 Loz bomber with a bomb on the ground
The bomb is in 2 parts - the tail being separated and looks very much like the Tolfvan models (fins with the typical rotation foldings, circular collar at the front of the tail) . The only two parts Polish bomb known in the 1930-39 period is the 100 kg Ż wz. 31 but it is supposed to look very much as the French 100 Kg bomb from the early 1930s, if we are to trust its drawing
Most Polish bombs were PuW type. I think we can also exclude the BS series that never entered in series production, but had cylindrical bodies and a fin similar to the czech Skoda bombs the late thirties, if we trust its drawing (once again, so long I have not seen photographs of these bombs, I am always cautious with drawings, even when they come from the most respectable sources)
So what may this bomb be?
