T-1 HE 914 mm shell, United States (Little David Mortar Shell), Initial Production 1943.
This enormous high explosive shell was designed for the 914 mm Little David mortar. The Little David was intended for hardened enemy targets, such as fortifications, underground bunkers, and industrial centers. The T-1 shell, which held 1,600 pounds of high explosives, left a crater 13 feet deep and 39 feet in diameter in test firing. |
