From the Jan. 12th Honolulu Star Advertiser.
Three WW I-era bombs were found at Bellows Field. These were designed to be hand-dropped from airplanes. These were part of unexploded ordnance dug up at the golf range at the air base.
One of the 25-pound Cooper bombs had its fuse intact and was exploded, the other two posed no threat.
Bellows field was established in 1917 and got its present name in 1933.
