Technical Notes
The AN-Mk 1 series uses screw-in suspension fittings bolted into the bomb case, replacing the earlier lug-and-band system used on the original 1,600lb AP Bomb Mk 1. The Mod 1, Mod 2, and Mod 3 variants are physically identical, with differences attributed to the manufacturer.
The authorized fuze for the AN-Mk 1 is the AN-Mk 228 tail impact fuze.
