Re: Parachute mines
The mines could be fused for land targets or as sea mines while the delivering aircraft was in the air. Prior to take off a specialist would go to each aircraft and make small adjustments to the mines. Does anyone know what those adjustments were for? PW Stahl's book, The Diving Eagle, details quite a few of these missions where the mines were carried.
