The E96 cluster bomb was an American anti-personnel biological cluster bomb developed in 1950. HistoryA February 24, 1950 report prepared by William M. Creasy, a colonel in the Army Chemical Corps' Research and Engineering Division, characterized the E96 cluster bomb as in the final stages of development.[1] According to Creasy's report, at the time the U.S. had no other biological weapon systems ready for use in battle.[1] SpecificationsThe E96 cluster bomb was a {{convert|500|lb|0|adj=on}} biological weapon designed to deliver an anti-personnel or anti-animal biological agent.[1] It consisted of 104 E48 sub-munitions, each one weighing {{convert|4|lb|0}}.[1] The sub-munitions were clustered into an E38 cluster adapter and when used, would be dropped from {{convert|35000|ft}} generating an aerosol cloud in the shape of an ellipse.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 Whitby, Simon M.
