c) attached by a jubilee clip round the body of the bomb to a shallow dark green cylindrical canister, in which case the overall dimensions of the bomb and canister are about 7 in. long by 3 in. diameter. Everyday on my way to my new school at Mitcham we saw more bombed houses, and the buses due to bomb damage were even older as they were replaced with museum pieces. The German balloon measures about 4 ft. long when deflated and weighs from 1 to 2 lb. The Germans have also used balloons of French manufacture, similar in construction to the British type. The distinguishing features mentioned above may, therefore, not always be present. A larger oil bomb weighing about 250 kg. of the same approximate dimensions as a 500 kg. H.E. bomb has also been dropped. (Note: The Germans call these oil bombs Flammenbomben, i.e. flame bombs, the latest types being known as Flam C 250 C and Flam C 500). Where the numeral used corresponds with an H.E. bomb of the same weight, e.g. AB 250, AB or ABB 500, and AB 1000, the container occupies the same stowage space as the equivalent H.E. bomb, i.e. 250 kg., 500 kg. or 1000 kg. ​The containers are listed below in four tables divided according to the bomb stowage space occupied.

Well, yes, but it really doesn’t matter because the people don’t know where the bomb will strike plus there’s not enough time to take proper shelter. Suddenly the noise stopped and the plane dived into the ground with a huge explosion. It must have been one of the first German V1 flying bombs. As 1944 came by the spring we saw all too many of these dreadful machines flying overhead. We got used to listening where the noise was coming from and if it was close, getting into shelter or even diving to the ground. They were very much a horizontal blast hazard, with a tonne of high explosive in the nose. Note: 1-kg. incendiary bombs have also been found fixed to the vanes of a 50-kg. H.E. bomb by clips.) Fountain — Cone-shaped sparkler, which is lighted on the ground and designed to create, sparks of various colors and intermittent lights when ignited.This bomb is marked "Brand C 50 A." A later model marked "Brand C 50 B" is painted light fawn colour and has two red bands ¾ in. wide, one on the nose and the other between the tail and suspension lug (see Figure 18). In this type the case is of welded construction and the base filling cap is the female pattern with two studs projecting rearwards. British practice bombs are of three types, differing in weight and material, but all are of the same shape. The dimensions are—length 16–18 in. maximum diameter 3 in., tail vanes 3 in. long and all have a small lug approximately 5 in. from the nose. ii) The 100 lb. smoke bomb is a sheet-metal can 18·3 in. by 10 in. by 9·8 in. painted green and containing a phosphorus filling. Johnny Dangerously contains a scene actually involving a bomb dropped from a plane on the casino of his enemy, Roman Maronie. Followed by an explosion. Followed by a declaration of FARGIN WAR!! Dingo Pictures' Dinosaur Adventure uses a sci-fi-sounding variation of this when Tio falls off the cliff, followed by the company's signature "DUNNNN!" Scare Chord when he hits ground.

Inverted with the Doodlebugs of WWII. Their engines droned and propelled them forward constantly until their timers ran out. When they stopped making noise, you knew something nearby was about to blow up. Also inverted by their upgrade, the V2, which traveled faster than sound. If you heard it, you were fine. People who lived through the Blitz on London (1940-41, mostly) mention that falling bombs made a sound like a parcel sliding down a chute. Instead of the usual marking AZ 8312, the plug is stamped AZ 1.3 A or AZ (1.3) A. Specimens of this type have been found painted ​yellow-green all over. The type may also be combined with an explosive charge in the tail end. guy ropes. The bowl may still be attached when it reaches the ground, or may be found some distance away.All are painted bright green. No. 5—Pull igniter No. 6—fuzed in tail. Nos. 11 and 15—fired electrically. Now don’t ask me why sound producers decided to use the sound effect heard from a pilot’s perspective. Whenever an object is falling from the sky towards a character, it is often accompanied by a high pitched whistling tone that both increases in volume and decreases in pitch as the object approaches the ground. It is usually heard while a Shadow of Impending Doom engulfs said character. May be accompanied by a Stuka Scream or a dust cloud. Some historians and soldiers argue that whistling is a warning to civilians about the danger ahead , so they may have time to cover up or run away, but the theory collapses when you look. into the physical aspect of such sounds. It is almost impossible to tell which direction the bomb came from by the whistling sound, so it can be pointed straight at you, or you can land 120 meters away. Moreover, the bomb's flight time will be relatively short, so even if you hear the whistling sound of a bomb falling, you will have very little time to react or flee immediately.
