Historical overview

The 500-pound M64 aerial bomb was the standard ordnance of the American combat aviation during World War II and was widely used to destroy fortifications, supply lines, airfields and infrastructure targets. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk – a USAAF fighter-bomber – regularly carried such bombs on missions in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific theater. The M64 contributed to numerous successes in campaigns from 1942 to 1945, becoming one of the icons of Allied aerial weaponry.
