WW1 Aerial Bomb


Recommended Posts

Here is something not often seen, an inert WW1 US Mk III aerial bomb. This one weighed 50 pounds when fully loaded and was filled with high explosives. Interestingly, a lot of these are being found at older Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and American Legion posts, sometimes repainted.

Great piece of ordinance. I dont collect shells etc but I would like a 50 kg plus bomb. There's a bomb off a Stuka on sale over here. £2500 though 😯
