Hello.
There edited a book entitled "Guerra Quimica en Espaa. 1921-1945" (Chemical warfare in Spain from 1921 to 1945) the authors are Jose Maria Manrique Garcia and Lucas Molina. This book study the use of chemical weapons in Spain.
I send two images
In the first picture we can see, from left to right, a chemical bomb 50 kg, model C-1 (this bomb is a copy of the German P.u.W. used in the WW1), a HE bomb 50 kg "Hispana" model A-6, a HE bomb 12 kg "Hispana" model A-5, sectioned bomb 12 kg model A-5, a HE Bomb modelo A-4 (this bomb is a copy of the German P.u.W. used in the WW1), a HE bomb 10 kilos model A-1 copy of the German Carbonit bomb.
In the second photo, left, a HE bomb 12 kilos model Hispana A-5 and right, a chemical bomb 20 kilos model C-5.
It was used in Spain other Chemical Bomb model C-2, C-3 and C-4: These models are investigating, but can say that the bomb C-2 (loaded with Yperite) had a weight of 10 kilos and that its design was abandoned quickly, the C-3 weighed 26 kg (loaded with phosgene) and the C-4 was possibly a modification of the French incendiary bomb model Chanard.

The book "Guerra Quimica en España. 1921-1945" arrived today and has lots of interesting images and a good amount on the history of the Spanish CW program.
Still looking for other images of the Spanish CW bombs................
