These "bombs" look like the training bombs filled with water and sand to
approx. the weight of the real McCoy.
The filler cap is on the top of the bomb.
The "fuze" is a pipe into which is inserted a "shotgun" style smoke charge
giving accurate spotting where the bomb landed.

Maybe we should have played that over loud speakers to force the Germans
to surrender?

Anyhow, this is the bomb bay of AAF 44-85740 Aluminum Overcast at Newport
News, VA on 13Sep95. I am lying on my back beneath the plane, with a 28mm
lens, and it was still a tight squeeze. Barely visible is the narrow
walkway through the bomb bay.
