Jericho device

[genkideskan]

A little known device is the so called Jericho device giving a horrible screeming noise to the dropped bomb.
Two pipe tubes attached to the tail fins. A device for psychological warfare.

I guess it works just like the sirens installed on the Stuka's. Lots of noise
to scare people...

Or you could do it the cheap way like RAAF Catalina crews did in the Pacific, all you have to do is stick a razor blade into the neck of an empty beer bottle, stooge over an enemy base at all hours of the night, throw them out a blister and hey presto, its raining "bombs"!
