More model informationSemi-armor-piercing bombs have bodies similar in contour to those of armor-piercing bombs. SAP bomb bodies are of thinner wall construction than those of the armor-piercing series. These bombs will accommodate both nose and tail fuzes. Most tactical uses do not require a nose fuze; in which case, the nose fuze seat cavity is fitted with a solid steel plug. The semi-armor- piercing series was developed to provide greater penetrative ability than that afforded by comparable weight general purpose bombs. Armored ships, reinforced concrete construction, pill boxes, and bunkers are vulnerable targets for this type of bomb. (ORDNANCE PAMPHLET 1280 (FIRST REVISION) AIRCRAFT BOMBS)
