Inside Back Cover This document is issued to graduates of a course in Bomb Disposal, by the Officer in Charge, Navy Bomb Disposal School, under authority of Bureau of Ordnance letter F4I — 6 (L) of 22 April 1944. It is for in formation and guidance only and is not a Bureau of Ordnance Publication. It should be destroyed when of no further use to Bomb Disposal Personnel.

The weight on "Val" of the displacement gear and bomb forces the hook open and the displace­ ment gear swings down and forward releasing the bomb. The picture below also show the arming vane stops used with this type of shackle. One stop is attached to the displacement gear and another Safety Lever Pulled (Side Plate Removed) is attached to the fuselage of the plane. This is the standard and only method used on Navy planes for pre­ venting the arming vanes from rotat­ ing while in flight. It should be noted in this connection that it is not possible to jettison safe any Japanese Release Lever Pulled Displacement Gear Finger Released Manually Operated The shackle pictured above is a manually operated fuselage shackle used on the "Val," a Navy dive bomber Type 99 carrier borne Model 11. The "Val" Model 11 is now obsolete but the Model 22 is still in production and possibly uses the same shackle. Also pictured is the displacement gear used on the "Val." The shackle releases the displacement gear which then swings downward and forward due to the weight of the bomb. The bomb is released automatically at the lower limit of movement of the displacement gear. The shackle is operated by pulling a steel lanyard which leads up to the cockpit from the release lever on the shackle.

This forces the hooks open and re­ leases the bomb. The shackle pictured is used on the "Betty." The "Francis" uses an ex­ plosive operated shackle, for large bombs, which operates very much the same but the explosive operated hook merely frees the displacement gear from the fuselage. Actual release of the bomb is accomplished by a system of levers which automatically open the hooks as the displacement gear swings downward. When the displacement gear and bomb have moved down to a point approximately 40° with respect to the axis of the plane, the locking lever is released and the bomb suspension hooks are opened allowing the bomb to fall. A wiring diagram of the Type 0 six-bomb release panel found on the "Francis" indicates that the bombs carried may be dropped in salvo or independently with a time interval of release of the forward and rear bombs from 0.25 to 6 seconds.

When current passes into the shackle a magnetic field is established which pulls the safety catch away from the trigger release allowing it to move up.

It is not possible to say just which Japanese planes will have a certain type of bomb rack as sufficient in­ formation is not available at present. It is hoped, however, that the above will give a general picture of what can be expected in the various types of shackles. In addition to the above discussed fuselage racks and shackles, are various types of wing racks which have been recovered, but as their operation is almost identical to fuselage racks of the same type, no detailed discussion is necessary. Navy wing racks like Navy fuselage racks are either manually or explosive operated, and Army wing racks as far as is known are electro-magnetic operated.

Argentine versions tend to have slightly different parts measurements than Belgian-made FALs due to local manufacturing methods; therefore, most parts of the FSL series are not interchangeable with more standard FALs. The Fusil Automatico Liviano Modelo IV (FALM IV) is an Argentine-made copy of the Belgian FAL Model 50-00. It is virtually identical to the FAL, but is heavier and has a more substantial muzzle brake. The Fusil Automatico Liviano Modelo Para III (FALMP III) is virtually identical to the FAL 50-64, but again is longer and heavier, with a longer muzzle brake.

    Fighting for Oz Manual for New Troops in the Pacific Theater of Operations © John Comiskey & Dredgeboat Publications, 2003 The Australian Imperial Force (AIF) When World War II began, Australia answered the call. Many of the men volunteering to fight had fathers that fought in World War I with the five divisions of the First AIF in the Australia-New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs). As a recognition of the achievements of the ANZACs in World War I, the Second AIF divisions began with the 6th Division and brigades started with the 16th Brigade. At the beginning of the war, only the 6th Division was formed. Two brigades of the 6th went to England, arriving in January 1940. The third brigade of the 6th was sent to the Middle East. The disaster in France that year drove more Australians to volunteer, with the 7th, 8th and 9th Divisions formed in short order. The 9th Division was unique in this process The Hat Badge of the AIF.

The 2/13th Battalion The 2/13th Battalion was originally assigned to the 7th Division, but was transferred to the new 9th Division while in the Mediterranean. The 9th Division fought hard in the Siege of Tobruk (April-December 1941), earning the sobriquet “The Desert Rats.” The 2/13th Battalion was unique in that they were in Tobruk for the eight months of the siege, the other battalions of the 9th being replaced with other Commonwealth troops.
