    Historical Notes

    The 500 lb IB Mk 1 was a special-purpose incendiary bomb designed primarily for low-level bombing operations. Its phosphorus fill produced an immediate incendiary effect on contact with air, followed by a dense smoke screen lasting at least two hours. Provision was made for nose or tail fuzing, though only the tail pocket was employed in service use. A single suspension lug was provided for British aircraft, with two additional lugs for U.S. suspension.
