Aircraft armament is very much an underpublished subject area in
which there is a growing interest. This is particularly true of
air-dropped ammunition. This subject involves more than just bombs;
rockets and a range of other weapons also come into this category.
Combine this subject area with the Luftwaffe in World War II and you
will have a book which is of great interest to historians and
modelers alike and will also be of some practical value for
artificers and personnel dealing with weapons systems in today's air
forces. This book traces the development of German air-dropped
ammunition, from the crude, 'aeronautical artillery', of World War I
to the advanced remote-control bombs of World War II. 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.
