Bomb abbreviations
Hi Folks,
I cannot find an expansion for the following bomb abbreviations: CP-14, CP-15, CP-17. I have a whole heap of other expansions, but these evade me. I have a feeling they may be American bombs but I am not sure. Any suggestions?

Re: Bomb abbreviations
Hi Alan,
CP. = Cluster Projectile these are clusters for incendiary bombs. 500-lb. CP. No.14 (british made) for 106 - 4 lb. incendiaries. 750-lb. CP. No.15 (british made) for 158 - 4 lb. incendiaries. 500-lb. CP. No.17 (US-made) same as the US AN-M17 for 110 AN-M50 incendiaries but with booth british and american lugs. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask. Hope this helps, René

Re: Bomb abbreviations
Many thanks, Kaczmarek,
Just the answer I was hoping for. I did have a suspicion about the Cluster Projectiles, but no confirmation. Excellent job. Alan
