Hello,
Described as photoflash bomb (4.5in, 19lb).
I don't find 4.5 photoflash bombs with these fins in my doc.

4.5 inch Mk3

Tail looks the same.

Hi,

"Flash, Photographic, Aircraft, 4,5 in., Mk 4." is described in A.P. 1661E (Weight 29-lb)
Can't find references of Mk 3. version

I have a document dated 17-2-1945 that the Mk III will be introduced shortly, so probaly not used much during the war, maybe only in Germany.

Regards,

Chris
