MARK V
BOMB RELEASE
MECHANISM

METHOD OF INSTALLATION

The Mark V bomb release mechanism is attached to the DH-4 plane by means of four pairs of eyebolts - two pairs straddle the main spar and two pairs straddle the rear spar.


Each eyebolt is attached to the frame of the release by a bolt through the eye and bolted through an aluminum plate above the spar. In order to suspend the release below the wing the bolts pass through wood blocks stream-line shaped to reduce air resistance.
