Hello,
In an operation-order from the USAAF is mentioned that P-47 Thunderbolts and P-38 Lightnings have to be loaded with GP bombs fused GLD.
What is the abbreviation GLD?
I think that it is General Long Delay (tail fuze with primer detonator M16A1 with 4-5 sec. or 8-15 sec.) and not a Chemical Long Delay fuze.
Who know the exact meaning of this abbreviation?
Greetings - Antoon
