Major topics include demolition bombs, incendiary bombs, special dropped ammunition, sea-dropping ammunition and dropping containers. A comprehensive illustrated listing catalogues information on 100 different bombs, 22 canisters and 50 of the most important bomb fuses.This is an unusual and innovative aviation title which will appeal to a wide readership in many areas of the aviation hobby. |
