Product Information

There is also a much larger type with a cylindrical body 14½ in. diameter and 45 in. long, which is painted green and weighs about 200 lb. The incoming mortar in Stripes. Only Sgt Hulka knows what it means. The recruits just look around in confusion. World War II MMOFPS WWII Online includes sounds for falling bombs. If you're close enough to hear it, you're probably dead. The in-game Stukas are equipped with a toggle for the Stuka whistle.

Overall length (including the overhang of, propulsion unit)—25 ft. 4 in. The normal American flare has a blue-coloured bomb-shaped case 50 in. long, 8 in. diameter, and weighs approximately 53 lb. when filled. It has four fins attached to the body.Yes I can tell you from personal experience also I was six years old we lived in Haverton Hill, County Durham, England, there was a lot of heavy industry in that area including Dorman & long steel works, the ICI Imperial chemical industries, This sound is played in Heavy Weapon as soon as a bomb is dropped by any enemy aircraft. Yes, when the bomb comes out of the airplane, no less. Scorched Earth has several option settings for this. It can avert the trope, play it straight, or invert it (with a whistle that ascends in pitch as the bomb falls). Reverse the audio clip, pitch will increase⇒ source approaching towards listener⇒ and this is what the bomb would sound like to a person on the ground.

An auxiliary petrol tank of similar shape measuring 6 ft. 6 in. by 1 ft. 8 in.., but made of aluminium and without a tail fin is also used When you're watching a Hollywood re-enactment of a famous battle in World War 2, the screech of falling bombs will definitely help create stress, but there's a truth behind this scary sound. During World War II, the Germans designed bombs to make a whistling sound when it fell. Normally, a metal object with sharp edges, such as a bomb will produce a small noise when falling in the air, unless it exceeds the sound barrier (343 meters per second) it will create Bang. When you are watching a Hollywood reenactment of a famous World War 2 battle, the whistling cries of falling bombs certainly help to build tension, but there is some truth behind this terrifying sound. During World War II, the Germans designed their bombs with a special whistle that would make that screaming cry as they fell towards the cities below. Typically, a metal objectwith sharp edges, like a bomb would make a small noise “hissing” sound as it fell through the air, unless it happened to exceed the sound barrier (343 meters per second), which would result in a sonic boom.

Sounds of bombs falling

We swopped the whistle of german bombs dropping and air battles overhead for British shells whistling over Larkhill on their way to the target ranges on the distant downs. The normal American smoke bomb is the 100 lb. bomb. It is identical in external appearance with the American 100 lb. incendiary bomb except that a yellow band surrounds the body and the filling contains phosphorus. The parachutes may be white, red or camouflage colouring and bear the mark " Kurt Peterhansel." A flare parachute, however, has been reported marked " Nicolaus," and other markings may be found. be found stencilled on it as well as " Bei Verwendung von Stutzstreben diese Platten enifernen" (when using steadying struts remove these plates). The whistles were purposefully attached to the bombs. Their purpose was to weaken enemy morale and to enhance the intimidation of dive-bombing. Look at the Stuka dive-bomber, a similar case. What other purpose did it's sirens have? As far as warning the target, it's too late to get to safety once you hear the whistle if you're not there already (bombs fall fast). Not all bombs were equipped with whistles, but they still all made noise as they fell due to air displacement (just not the famous whistling sound).

A larger oil bomb weighing about 250 kg. of the same approximate dimensions as a 500 kg. H.E. bomb has also been dropped. (Note: The Germans call these oil bombs Flammenbomben, i.e. flame bombs, the latest types being known as Flam C 250 C and Flam C 500). d) On one of the specimens a 1 in. red band was painted round the bomb an inch behind the suspension eye-bolt. The body of this bomb was painted dark grey-green or blue-grey. On the other hand, a raising pitch would be heard if the bomb was still accelerating as it fell toward the listener, and there might be other reasons why the sound would be different from what I described above.Small Triangulo — Triangle shaped with powder less than the Bawang and usually wrapped in brown paper measuring ¾ inch at its longest side.

No naked light or lighted cigarette should be brought too near them otherwise the gas may ignite, or, in the case of larger balloons, cause an explosion. ii) Armour-piercing steel bombs are of 500, 1,000 and 1,400 kg. These are distinguished by a dark blue stripe painted on the tail vanes and/or on the tail cone, or by the tail cone being painted dark blue all over (German marking, PC). There is usually little difficulty in distinguishing between a parachute mine and a bomb since the former has no tail vanes and its rear end is likely to be found open. There is, however, obviously more likelihood of confusion with the parachute bomb, and the distinguishing features to be borne in mind are the latter's oval shape and its characteristic parachute, which is of a different shape, size and colour from that used for mines (see Section I ( a) (vi) and Figures 9A and 9B).i) The 4 lb. smoke bomb, usually dropped in the small bomb container holding 42 bombs, is a small metal cylinder 7·8 in. long and 3·7 in. diameter with a bakelite dome and is painted light green. Just before Christmas in 1943, We heard a strange sound in the sky, and looking out saw a strange aircraft flying very fast low overhead with a long tail of flames coming from an engine mounted on it's tail. The noise was a like a demented rasping motorcycle. The cylinder has the effect of a brake, delaying the fall of the mine through air or water. The mine itself remains externally unchanged. The metal segments, of which some. may bear the markings B.V.3., and other components of the false nose (see Figure 29) may be found intact at some distance from the mine. Type A are thin case steel bombs of 50, 250, 500, 1,000, 1,200 and 1,800 kg. They are distinguished by a yellow stripe painted on the tail vanes and/or on the tail cone, or by the tail cone being painted yellow all over. (German marking, SC.)
