Did the cluster of 3 (parachute) Frag bombs AN-M4 be used by P-47?

[Flyingkag]

Hey all,

I would be interested to learn which kind of planes used (in ETO, not in the Pacific) the clusters M40 of 3 (para) Frag Bombs AN-M4, with fuse M120?

I guess these bombs slowed by a little parachute were efficient when used by fighter-bombers planes, for example for missions against airfields, troops concentrations etc...?

Do maybe someone have one pict showing such a cluster attached on wing of a fighter-bomber plane? I have seen some picts with clusters of many small frag bombs (without parachute) under P-47 wings, but have never seen the 3 bombs M40 cluster on a pict.

Fact that the M40 bomb was used in clusters of 3 let me imagine in was not put in bomb bay of bombers planes, but under wings or belly of other kind of planes.

Thanks for your help, Mathias
