1950s Operation Polka Dot
The E133 cluster weighed 750 pounds.[2] It held between 536[3][1] and 544[2] E61 bomblets, which when dropped would detonate on impact dispersing an aerosol of biological agent,[3] usually anthrax.
The U.S. E133 cluster bomb was developed prior to Richard M. Nixon's 1969 declaration that ended the U.S. biological weapons program.
