M-100 for Skymarker Bomb 100 lb
- Thread starter Fusse2004
- Start date
Apologies for the late response, but I've only recently found the relevant files in the USAF archives.
This was a USSTAF modification developede in August 1944 to allow M100 series fuses to be fitted to nose and tail of the 8AF-developed CHB Skymarker Mk.I, an itself a modification of the basic M47A2 chemical bomb casing.
The official modification drawing was issued in October 1944, and superseded both the initial electrically-fired bursters an earlier Skymarker modification to allow the use of RAF-supplied No.848 fuses.
Hope that helps,
PB
