According to Stettbacher (Ref 11, Vol 1) the Germans during WWI used a mixt (called Deutscher gesichiessbarer MinensprengstofF ) consisting of K perchlorate 56, DNB 32 and DNN 12%, which was cast-loaded in trench mortar shells, land mines and various bombs, while the French used Perammon (qv) for loading aerial bombs...

Formation of Mach wave from a spherical wave produced on detonation of an aerial bomb was briefly discussed in Vol 2 of En-cycl, pp B182 ff, under BLAST EFFECTS IN AIR, EARTH AND WATER. The Fig on p B183 illustrated the formation of Mach wave and showed the pass of the "triple point ... [Pg.434]

Easily fusible mixtures containing picric acid as the chief component were very widely employed in Russia and France during World War I and in the period immediately afterwards. A mixture of 51.5 or 80% picric acid with 48.5 or 20% dinitronaphthalene was used in the U.S.S.R. for filling aerial bombs and manufacturing demolition charges. [Pg.247]

In the United States a mixture of 60% cyclonite and 40% TNT was used under the name of Cyclitol as a filling for aerial bombs. The density of the cast explosive was 1.65-1.70, its rate of detonation 7800 m/sec, and in the ballistic pendulum it gave a value of 130 (100 for TNT). In the United States this mixture is considered to be only a little more sensitive to impact than TNT with a stability similar to that of cyclonite. This does not agree with T. Urbanski s [5] investigations according to which the sensitiveness to impact of such a mixture, in a powdered form, and its ignition temperature (225°C) approximate to the corresponding values for tetryl. [Pg.249]

The Germans also used a similar mixture containing trinitroanisole instead of TNT for filling aerial bombs. In Britain other Amatols were also employed, i.e. ammonium nitrate mixtures with TNT in various ratios (Table 48). [Pg.261]

Before WWI, the two countries who seem to have devoted the most time and money to aerial bombs were Germany Spain. They developed bombs specially designed for use from aircraft. The Spaniards were the first to employ a bomb with mechanical fuze incorporating safety devices to protect airmen launching it. This was during the war in Morocco... [Pg.226]

Considerable aerial bombing took place during the Spanish Civil War( 1936-9), mostly by the Germans, who sided with Franco. The opposing Spanish faction was helped by the USSR, who supplied some armed airplanes and pilots. This war gave opportunity, especially to the Germans, to test the efficiency of newer bombs. The Ger... [Pg.226]
