It&#8217;s explosive charge consisted of either 267 lbs of TNT, 262 lbs of Amatol, or 274 lbs of Composition B. The AN-M64 was painted olive drab with a 1&#8243; yellow stripe marking the center of gravity, with a stripe around the nose and rear of the bomb. It was 57&#8243; long and 14&#8243; in diameter with a 0.3&#8243; thick steel casing.<br \/>\nThe minium safe drop altitude listed for the AN-M64 was 2500 feet.

In a report in December 1942, after the raid on Lille, it was calculated that 30 percent of the bombs dropped had failed to explode<br \/>\nbecause the arming mechanisms had frozen up after being exposed the damp conditions on the airfields overnight. Standard Operating Procedure was soon changed so that fuses were installed just before take off.

In January 1945, experts recommended 250lb GP bombs to be used against synthetic oil plants,<br \/>\nammunition dumps and oil storage facilities. the 100lb bomb was recommended for attacking railway yards and runways.<\/p>\n<p>The team:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<li><strong>Areti Kominou (photos)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nikos Karatzas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tasos Hatziliadis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Panagiotis Vletsas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tasos Tsalavoutas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Kostas Michalenas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tolis Kipreos<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>George Kolikis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0388\u03c1\u03b5\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1 &#8211; \u0395\u03c0\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5: \u039d\u03af\u03ba\u03bf\u03c2 \u039a\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03b6\u03ac\u03c2 \u00a0\u03a3\u03c4\u03b7 \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c1\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u03c5\u03bd\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b4\u03cd\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03b1 \u00ab\u039d\u03b1\u03c1\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03ad\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1 \u03a3\u03b1\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u00bb \u03b5\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd \u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b7\u03c3\u03af\u03b4\u03b1\u03c2\u00a0\u03a0\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03cc\u03ba\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5 (\u0393\u03b1\u03ca\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03b9) \u03b4\u03c5\u03bf \u03b2\u03cc\u03bc\u03b2\u03b5\u03c2 \u0391\u039d-\u039c64, \u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 G.P.(General Purpose) \u03b1\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03b7\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03ae\u03c2. \u0391\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03b2\u03cc\u03bc\u03b2\u03b5\u03c2 \u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u03b5\u03af \u03c4\u03bf \u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b1\u03af\u03bf \u03c4\u03bc\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf \u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03bf \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03ba\u03b5 \u03c3\u03b5 \u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03ae \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7. \u039f\u03b9 AN-M64 \u03c7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03ae\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd \u03c3\u03b1\u03bd\u00a0\u03b2\u03cc\u03bc\u03b2\u03b5\u03c2 \u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03c7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 500lb, \u03bc\u03b5 \u03b5\u03ba\u03c1\u03b7\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/?p=2350\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,3],"tags":[180,8,12,94,204,18,10,9,6,13,7,11,49],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2350"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3011,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350\/revisions\/3011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationarchaeology.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
