EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment of the test firing of a 4-inch Spigot Blacker Bombard, a prototype anti-tank weapon, during its development stages. The Blacker Bombard, named after its inventor Major John C. Blacker, was a revolutionary weapon designed to counter the threat of heavily armored tanks during World War II. In this image, we see the weapon system in its entirety, with the Blacker Bombard mounted on a carriage and the spigot launcher extended. A dummy projectile is visible in the launcher, ready to be fired, while a fired cartridge lies on the ground nearby. The complex mechanism of the weapon is evident, with various wires and cables connecting the launcher to the control panel and other components. The Blacker Bombard was unique in its design, using a spigot-type launcher that allowed the weapon to be fired from a stationary position. This feature made it more effective against armored targets than previous anti-tank weapons, which required the gunner to traverse the weapon to engage the target. The Blacker Bombard's high-explosive projectile was also designed to penetrate up to 12 inches of armor, making it a formidable weapon against even the most heavily armored tanks of the time. Despite the success of the Blacker Bombard during testing, its production was ultimately canceled due to the end of the war and the availability of other, more cost-effective anti-tank weapons. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a reminder of the innovative engineering and design that went into developing this groundbreaking weapon system.
