The body is formed of a heavy, ogival, steel nose sec-tion, a cylindrical midsection, and a conical after sec-tion. The nose section is riveted and welded to the mid-section, which, in turn, is welded to the after section. The nose and base sections both contain fuze adapters. |
| TAIL CONSTRUCTION |
The tail unit consists of four (4) fins welded to the coni-cal base section of the bomb body. Double sets of struts are welded between the fins for additional rigidity. |

REMARKS – The purpose of the extra lug or ring on the tail cone is not known. There are references to a FAB-2000, and FAB-5000, but no information is available on them. |
