Beer Bottles as Ordnance
Besides bombs, USAAF 11th Group B-24s in the Pacific sometimes dropped cases of empty beer bottles on enemy targets. Veterans say they wailed like a banshee on the way down and scattered glass fragments where they struck, and rumor had it that enemy soldiers avoided the areas where they struck for a day or two, fearing the bottles contained an unknown gas. I wonder if beer bottles were used as ordinance in other theaters of the war?
