Interesting WWII Bomb Photos

[US-Subs]

Something a little different - and smaller than a Tallboy, or Grand Slam or whatever.

These were taken in Port Moresby, New Guinea, in 1943. They are wrapping wire and steel rod around 100lb and 500lb general purpose bombs to enhance their anti-personnel effect.

How'm I doin Pete?

Great photos!!
I notice barbed wire being used!, wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of that.
cheers Kev

AN M64 wrapped with barb wire looks scary!!!

The back of the photo says that the barbed wire wasn't effective enough, they gave it up for the steel rods.
