I am looking for info on the M47 series of bomb casings.
I am looking for the color(s) they were painted; The stenciling put on the casings right before or after they are loaded; The fuze types used with the casing.
Jeff (US-SUB) has been of great help and figured you folks might be able to add to the information I am gathering.
I am having M47's reproduced for the restoration of a B-25J that will memorialize a 488th Bomb squadron B-25 8Z that was shot down on a Flak Suppression flight.
She was loaded with 22 M47's and chaff.
Warbirds of Glory Museum is restoring the B-25.
Not having much luck posting pictures.. Will try again..
