CONSTRUCTION. The body of the PC 1,000 kg armor-piercing bomb is of one-piece for-ged steel. The nose is very heavy and this construction decreases the size of the explo-sive cavity. There is one fuze pocket located aft the suspension lug. Through the center on the explosive cavity is additional exploder tube. (See fig. 30.) |
|
The tail unit is constructed of magnesium alloy and is attached in the same manner as used with the SC 1,000 series. |
|
SUSPENSION. Horizontal. This bomb uses a suspension band with the H-type lug secu-red to it. At 90° from the suspension lug in both directions are two trunnion bolts for dive-bombing. |
|
COLOR. Sky blue with aluminum tail. Blue stripe on tail cone. |
