Right, by '44 they seem to be using exclusively 250 lbers (which agrees with
Art's
memory that he never dropped a 300 lb. bomb). As I said previously, they
appear to
have used them up by the 3rd or 4th quarter of '43. From my memory of
Freeman, they
ran out of the 600 and 1,100 lb.

Sounds like 600 pound bombs and 1100 pound bombs are just typos.

No, as mentioned earlier in the thread the M30 series 600 and 1,100 lb. bombs were
in use in 1942 and maybe into the early part of 1943 (don't remember for sure).
