Miscellaneous Bombs |
Introduction |
This chapter covers two bombs which do not fall within the regular classification sys-tem. One bomb is the "Nickle" Leaflet bomb, which is a U.S. Army M25 flare modified to carry propaganda leaflets. The other bomb is the Type H, A.D. Apparatus, which is de-signed to provide aircraft with a defense against fixed gun fighter planes by laying a pa-rachute-supported aerial mine in their path. It is similar in principle of operation to seve-ral of the rocket-propelled A.D. apparatus. |
