Awsome series of photos. That'll certainly spoil the moment.
Jeff,
In the first photo, is he filling the bodies with thickened or unthickened fuel. I thought that the thickener had to be stirred into the fuel, which would be tough in the bomb body, plus his filling apparatus looks a bit more technical than for regular fuel.
Do you know what year these photos were taken?

No idea, though I think I've got a pub someplace (don't ask) on mixing napalm. Not something they trained me in, but I thought these photos were pretty cool. You're right, the pump hosing does look pretty complicated, but hey, ever hear of a $500 hammer?
Here is the photo data, in order with the original presentation. The info given on the first one still keeps the question alive.
