Lots of interesting items can be seen at the base, such as this T-12 bomb known as The Cloudmaker. It was designed to be used on the B-36 bomber though as far as I can tell it was never actually used in combat. It was in service from 1944-1948 and seems to have been designed to attack underground sites. The total weight of the bomb was a staggering 43,600 pounds. Lots more to see at this amazing military base in Virginia.

Visit to Fort Lee (May 27, 2018)
Debbie and I went on an exploration trip to Fort Lee. I was there a few years ago and once again went to see the US Army Quartermaster Museum. There are a lot of photos at the museum web site and quite a bit to see at this free museum. This is a Civil War supply wagon which is notable in that it carried supplies for one US Grant who commanded Union Forces during the Civil War. Many other interesting things can be found there.
