[bdgreen]

This report covers some of the efforts by the US to develop a controllable glide bomb during WW2. Below are excerpts from the 1944 report on tests which involved the use of a 1/5 scale model of the GB-5 controllable glide bomb.

How would you like to have one of these in your collection:tinysmile_grin_t:

A number of GB photos are posted on this thread, though I think I ran out of free time before I got to the GB-5. http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/81501-Archive-photos/page6?highlight=glide+bomb

US-Subs,

Found the photos you are referring to on page 12 of your excellent photo archive series. Very interesting to see some of the early experimental work in developing guided bombs.
