I haven't found one single source that states specifically what the Northrop A-17's bomb load consisted of, but three independent sources provided the following information when combined:
* 20x 30lb fragmentation bombs in internal bay (in vertical chutes)
* 4x 100lb bombs on external racks
The sources did conflict with regards to the aircraft's total bomb load but I assume the actual bomb counts are accurate and the discrepancies originated elsewhere, though I can't say for certain.
@HuskyDynamics01 I’ll assume they are AM-M30s
@HuskyDynamics01 thank you, they probably didn’t use the full load in actual a-17s because it would start affecting performance
