[303rd-Talk] (Fwd) Bomb blast radius

[bill runnels]

As previously stated, several factors dictate the blast radius of a given bomb. However, my Bombardier's Information File(BIF) does set forth the following:
   
  4,000 lb Light Case Bomb  will raze areas equal to a city block or more.
   
  Fragmentation Bombs:
        Personnel - almost 100% casualties over 120 ft. radius
        Tanks - running gear 60 to 90 ft.
        Planes - motor 60 ft., wings perforated 200 ft., Structural 3 to 4 ft
        Telephone Wires - 100 ft.

  Can anyone help Kiel with his question below? I imagine it depends 
on the type and size of the bomb. I have no idea.
