REMARKS:

This bomb was developed for use as a substitute to alleviate a temporary short-age of 100 lb. G.P. bombs.

The bomb body consists of a modified M70 Chemical bomb loaded with TNT. The nose has been machined to accommodate an adapter for alternate fuzing. There is no provi-sion for the installation of a tail fuze. Because the bomb was unstable in flight when filled with TNT, the tail unit of the 260 lb. fragmentation bomb, AN-M81, is used instead of the standard M70 tail.
