Hi @sgdbdr,
that is a very nice notebook. Thank you for posting it. I just went over it in a hurry. In the section about the 4 lb and 25 lb Incendiary bombs it is mentioned in the text and the very good detailed, coloured drawings, that the filling is "Thermite or SENDITE". I'm a pyrotechnician and I don't remember ever to have heard about an incendiary composition called "Sendite". What exactly is "Sendite" ? By the way, I don't know if this has been mentioned here before. The 25 lb incendiary bomb was nicknamed by professionals at that time "Dosenspucker" (Tin-Spitter).
Regards,
Bellifortis.
