I'm looking at some ORBs fir 12 Sqdn early September 1942 claiming a bomb load of 1x4000lb HCNI and then talks about "Nickels dropped". I must be missing something as I am sure a 4K bomb won't be able to be puit in or dropped from the bomb bay given the way the bomb bay doors open. In other words 3 rows of bomb positions to allow effectively 4 doors.
4K HCNI and "Nickels" must refer to some other load even though they write "1x4000lb HCNI"
Ideas?
