General: During World War II the term "air mine" was generally used to indicate naval mines placed by dropping them via parachute from the air. Youngman may have confused the term with "cluster bomb." Cluster bombs were used in land operations. Images YMN094 and YMN095 show the same location, while YMN069 and YMN096 provide an expanded view of the garden area seen in the foreground of YMN007.
