Summary edit

Description 330-PSA-29-65 (USN 1108876): The SNAKEYE bombs, looking like a group of flying crosses, descend on a truck convoy target. Master Caption: The SNAKEYE bomb, designed for conventional low level attacks, has folding tailfin device which deploys as soon as the bomb is dropped. The deployed fins produce drag and slow the descent of the bomb, allowing the delivery plane time to clear the impact area and avoid fragmentation damage. The SNAKEYE bomb system was designed and developed at the Naval Ordnance Test Station, China Lake, California. Photograph released February 18, 1965. (2015/11/10).
