It looks like a Finland LP 1 glide bomb.

Eric they are us torpedoes the photos are from the south pacific. On the back of one of the photos it said arming the fish . Gary
rather odd........I cant help.
they must be experimenting with different winged designs. they seem to be rather proud after completing them.
I have no idea then. This is what I saw. Wish you luck on it kinda cool though.

I agree commando they do look proud . I have one letter that has been censored pretty good also.
Eric they do look a lot alike
This might be the us version . I don't see flaps on the one I posted and on the other photos that I haven't posted yet .
The photos are as described the GT-1 (glide torpedo). These had radio controlled rudders. The wooden attachments broke loose when it hit the water. These were supposedly used on enemy convoys. Erich's photo is the GB1-15 (glide bomb). These had radio controlled elevators and rudders. There were fifteen types of the GB and they were used for sub pens, bridges, and any other tight targets. I have not been able to find very much info out there on what type of radio system or frequency they used. Very cool photos Gary.
