Bomb identification?
Hi all,
I'm in discussion with the author of an upcoming book about WW1 aviation which includes a chapter on the Tondern Raid in July 1918 and we're wondering if it's possible to get a proper type & model of the bombs that were dropped from the Camels that day. They've been described many times as simply "50lb", "Cooper 50lb" and in one (slightly iffy) reference as "specially made Cooper bombs" but I've never found a definitive ID of what they were. The actual bombs used are pictured via the links below to the Tonder Zeppelin Museum and I was rather hoping some expert might be able to identify them from the pictures? http://www.zeppelin-museum.dk/DK/ima...mbs/bombe2.jpg http://www.zeppelin-museum.dk/DK/ima...mbs/bombe3.jpg http://www.zeppelin-museum.dk/DK/ima...bs/granat2.jpg If that's at all possible then we'd be most grateful. I will probably try the IWM as well but wondered if anyone here might be able to throw some light on it? Thanks in advance |
