B-24 Liberator Bombs
I would like to know what bombs were used on the liberator, tried a few google searches but couldnt really come up with anything definitive. Looking for the most common types as well as the most interesting ones
Thanks! Chris

I would guess that most were 200 or 500 pound GP (general purpose) bombs. Those were the most common type of the war for U.S. bombers.
