Bomb - WW1 Belgian 15kg Battaille (Set of 8)

Comprising: Eight historically accurate scale models in high-resolution, unpainted, 3D-printed resin. Available in your choice of 1/32, 1/48, or 1/72 scale.

History: Belgian engineer-officer César Battaille (born 1882) served in the Aviation Militaire Belge as an armurier and observateur, becoming noted for his inventive work on airborne ordnance. After volunteering in August 1914, he quickly filed patents for incendiary projectiles (flèche ou obus incendiaire) intended to combat German dirigibles. By mid-1915, Battaille developed and patented a specialized aircraft weapon designed with an upward-directed fragmentation blast upon impact.

Operational Use: During the night of August 22–23, 1915, Battaille and pilot Henri Crombez initiated a bombing sortie using one 30kg and two 15kg Battaille bombs against enemy positions. Aircraft types known to have carried these bombs include various Farman (particularly the F.40), Voisin, and possibly Caudron makes.
