Default Re: bombing ammo bunkers

That's also why low-level attacks used 5 second delay fuze. Like, say, Mosquitoes in op. Jericho, or those B-25's massacring Japanese transports in Bismarck Sea. Also the planes had to fly in loose enough formation so that bombs from first aircrafts won't destroy the later ones (faintly recall such situation, with Typhoons attacking a French port, is described in "Le Grand Cirque" by Clostermann).
