Very nice.
It reminds me of a Ranken dart in some ways. With a Ranken dart the fins spring open to stop the tail but to allow the front end to go forward and set off the friction fuze.
I wonder if the hooks on this stopped it from going through something so setting it of at a pre determined distance.
Pure guess work of course.
Dave.
Could it be some form of anti Zeppelin device,dropped from an aircraft above the Zeppelin,hooks engage in fabric/airframe which arms grenade which explodes frag head inside envelope/gas bags,just a wild guess,
Cheers,
Don,
I can suppose that your bomb must have the same use : the hooks to hang on the zeppelin structure and the fragmentation warhead to destroy a maximum of the zeppelin structure.
It has logic. Launched from an airplane, the hooks to engage in zeppelin and the fragmented body to increase damage.
Very interesting. Thank you very much. The people in this forum are very smart and erudite.
