M117 – history and application

The M117 general-purpose bomb was the standard bomb armament of the U.S. Air Force since the 1950s. Widely used during the Vietnam War by aircraft such as the B-52 Stratofortress, F-105 Thunderchief, and F-4 Phantom II, the M117 was also employed in Middle East operations and throughout the Cold War. The variant with airbrake was used for lower-altitude drops, minimizing the risk of the aircraft being damaged by its own shockwave.
