I'm going to jump in here,since I haven't seen an answer to this yet, and maybe the vets will jump on me, but I was told some years ago that our bombs didn't whistle, except when Hollywood drops them, the Nazi's did put noise makers on their bombs as a terror tactic but as far as I know we didn't. And I think bob is probably right, even if they did I don't think the crew would hear them over the engines the 10,000 rattles from the airframe and the flack!?
