Summary edit

Description As the US Military upgraded to jet aircraft, it was found that bombs of World War II design were aerodynamically unstable at higher speeds. The problem was solved by redesigning the tail fin as shown in this example, which also features a casing that could be configured for practice, fragmentation, or other uses.
