A very simple, but inaccurate Glide Bomb, which consisted of a large bomb, fitted with wooden wings.
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Thanks for the photo John, and the explanation Alan.
That's one I've never seen before.
