Shocking Tally of Iraq Civilian Causalities

[Vandiablo]

eppie, you are again mistaken.

WP is not a bomb munition.  A bomb is what an aircraft drops from its bomb racks, onto things on the ground. 

Please, sir, I have an interest in pre-WWII planes...

Can you tell me what kind of plane the British were using at Fort McHenry during the battle that inspired our Sacred National Anthem about our Sacred National Emblem?? You know, the one with the "bombs bursting in air?"

Seeing as how this song was written sometime in the early 19th century, I find it curious that it uses a word that (assuming you are correct, and the Wrights were the first to fly) had no meaning for another 70 years or so.

Perhaps the word also allows usage by hot air balloons? Did the Brits have a secret weapon during that war?
