[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 3127833, member: 10973"] My memory really sucks, been 52 years since I worked on an A4 but seem to remember an explosive charge that kicked the bomb out of the rack. Could be the fire set off the charge which dropped the bomb but even then I wonder why it blew. Bombs had a safety wire through the fuse that was 4 or 5 feet long and after the wire was released the arming propeller had to turn a number of times before the bomb was armed. Takes us back to the fire not only making the bomb drop but also setting it off. Back then I was a selfish 18 year old kid that didn't pay allot of attention to much of anything that didn't effect me directly. Many times I wished I had paid allot more attention to what was going on around me. [/QUOTE]
