USE

Included in this section are only three practice bombs. These are the only ones specifically designed for that purpose, although there are cur-rently in use several practice bombs which are me-rely service bombs inert loaded with sand, water, or a chalk/lime solution. The standard practice bombs generally emit smoke as a spotting charge to indicate bombing accuracy.

CHARACTERISTICS

Standart practice bombs are painted white overall with two light green bands painted around the center of the tail. Inert loaded service bombs used as practice are painted black. Practice bombs con-taining an exploder have a red band painted around the body.
