Bombs ID

Hi.
Bought this old text book and would like to know if anybody can give a
rough date to it, the book is like the ones people use in School, on the
front it just says clp George longparish X Course, it’s full of hand drawn
diagrams as in the pic, but no date at all.
Phil.

The larger drawings are clearly 4000lb and 8000lb ‘cookie’ HC (high capacity) bombs.

The first use of the 4000lb was in April 1941 and the first use of the 8000lb was in September 1942.

Hope this helps.

So they are world war two then, thanks.
Phil.
