Re: 205th BG 150 Sqd night shots

The photograph you have attached shows the bomb aimer using the bombsight. Compare it to the similar photo on this link.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_XIV_bomb_sight

If the photo was taken with a flash camera (not a flashbomb), the white blob is probably a reflection off something in the plane.

The photoflash bombs would probably have been carried in the bomb bay.

Here is an example of one type of photo flash bomb, I am not sure what would have been used in this case.
