Id bomb

[MINENAZ16]

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

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



Cheers,

S.

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.

Chris
