Good info there everyone.
Does anyone know of any German projects for larger bombs other than the ones that I posted up there?

Jank said:Aniother forum member mentioned that the P-47N was designed to handle 1,600 poud bombs under each wing plus a 500 pounder under the fuselage. 3,700 pounds That's a quite a bomb load.

That list cannot be complete. I know the Japanese used bombs in the 1700 lbs class at Perl Harbor. These were AP bombs designed specifically for destroying capital ships.
Lanc,
The Napalm bombs are not on your list. The RAF dropped a large number of napalm bombs on targets such as Dresden.

Interesting that you indicated that the Americans used 1,600 pound bombs. That's what I was trying to confirm.
Does anyone else have any information on bombs betseen 1,000 and 2,000 pounds?
