F32127 WW II LUFTWAFFE BOMB SC 50 + CRATE BOX N°2

SC50 (German: Sprengbombe Cylindrisch 50) is a German air bomb weighing 50 kilograms (total weight: 55 kg) from the Second World War. In the SC50 Bi variant, the total length was 117 cm, and the diameter - up to 20.1 cm. Bombs of this type could carry up to 16.4 kg of explosive charge. The bomb was used primarily against land targets, but was also relatively easily adapted to counter surface targets. In the course of production, three main variants of the SC50 bomb were created, differing from each other mainly by the method of making the metal shell of the bomb, and to a lesser extent - by the size or weight of the explosive charge carried. Regardless of the variant, the bomb could be suspended horizontally or vertically, both in the bomb bay and on the external pylon. SC50 bombs could be dropped from such planes as, for example, Junkers Ju-88, Junkers Ju-87, Heinkel He-111 or Dornier Do-17.
