The IJN/IJA Type 99 no3 Mark3 aerial incendiary bomb was an unusual invention that was more spectacular than effective. The inspiration for research was this interesting picture.

While there is limited information on this bomb, the US military did include it in a few reports and which this video is based upon along with a few Japanese sources. Referred to as “TA“ ammunition, it was also called an octopus “tako” bomb for the shape the explosion made.
