After a long night of scanning through microfilm, I ran into information pertaining to a type of bomb that I have only seen in two pictures. In both pictures, this type of bomb is being loaded into B-17 bombers for use in the practice bomb role.
I am fascinated by the old Mark series of bombs, and would alomst go as far to say that they are my favortie objects in the ordnance world.
I am very intrigued by the addapting of AN series box type fins and fuzes to the old Mark series casings.
Does anyone have any detailed information on the Modified Mark Series bombs? Pictures?
I am determined to obtain an example of every type of US bomb ever made, so I must ask if anyone has ever seen a complete example in the flesh? Or even part of one?
Below is one of the two pictures I have ever seen. I cropped the soldier as his face looks silly.
