What is all the stuff hanging under the airplane? gdp Bomb Racks And under the wing tips and main gear? ???? Flare holders and a generator (sans prop)?

... What is all the stuff hanging under the airplane? The first pic identifies the aircraft as a Curtiss JN-6HB. IOW it was a single-control bomber trainer. What sort of racks would such a machine need? gdp |

Alternatively, when on a strictly training mission, a marker round, that would be easy to see how your hits were landing. |
