I have scanned my photocopy of the British bomb bible from 1945 - AP 1661B Vol 1 with OCR carried out The pages were pretty thin (light) so I was not able to accurately determine the page size and margins so the the margins are just guessed based on what was normal at the time.
It is missing the cover and List of Amendments (there are at least 136 of those) but the nice thing is it includes all the US bombs that the RAF were using at that time. Apart from the items listed and empty Chapters I think it is fairly complete.
The Title page is reconstructed because it was so damaged, dirty and covered with graffiti (names and stamps).
My questions are - most bomb codes are self explanatory (eg SAP = Semi Armour Piercing) but what are:
RL bombs
F bombs
