Historical Description

During World War II, the United States Army Air Force standardized several models of bombs, classified according to their weight: 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 pounds.
These bombs were massively produced and used on all fronts: Europe, Africa, Pacific and Asia. Versatile, they equipped aircraft as varied as the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-25 Mitchell, and many others.
Their use continued well after 1945, notably during the Korean War, where they once again proved their effectiveness in tactical or strategic bombing missions.
