About the AN-M65A1
The AN-M65A1 is a 1000-lb general purpose high explosive bomb used extensively by US forces in WWII and Korea. It features a nose and tail fuze configuration, an adapter-booster accommodating 2-inch diameter thread fuzes, and antiwithdrawal pins in the base plug — improvements over the earlier AN-M65 and AN-M44 variants. Approximately 50% of the bomb's complete weight is explosive filler.
