Thanks for this nice material.The "bombs developed abroad" in the first post are French HE bombs at the Schneider plant. The 200kg (in fact 220kg) bomb entered in service with the French Air Force and became a standard issue, but the fate of the 1000kg bomb was different: this bomb was successfully tried, and fulfilled the wishes of the french strategists who understood the need of such bombs for any strategic bombing campaign (we are in the peak period of Douhet theories). However the decision to enter in serial production and operational service was delayed due to...the lack of suitable bomb racks. The heavier French bomb rack could support only bombs up to 700kg officially (in fact up to near 800kg). So the decision was put on hold till the new bomb racks being developed will be available...they never were!
