Help need with the id is this bomb
- Thread starter kradman
- Start date
Could you show a profile photograph of this bomb ?
At first sight, it seems to be a ww1 French mortar bomb rather than a air-dropped bomb - though such bomsb were sometimes used as air dropped projectiles.
The so called Bombe de 150T Mle 1916:
However there is a slight possibility (I am dubious upon that but this possibility needs to be raised) that this could be in fact an early model of a French aeronavale bomb - to check that we need to see the basis of the body of the bomb and the upper part of the fins. Both cannot be seen on thse views
