Book II Print 15: Bomb shop at Cdte. Luis "El Guajiro" Crespo's rebel stationYale University. Department of Manuscripts and ArchivesundatedengspaThis is the bomb shop at Cdte. Luis "El Guajiro" Crespo's station (shown on Print 14). Frames in bottom row show welder cutting up bomb shells to make casings for small rebel bombs. The bomb shells are, of course, the remnants of aerial bombs dropped on the rebels by the Batista Government's Air Force: for some reason - perhaps technical, perhaps negligence or sabotage, perhaps owing to the peculiar topography of the jungle - an extraordinary number of such bombs failed to explode on landing. Frames 21-30 show Crespo seated outside bomb shop (with his crippled ward) making rebel hand grenades from sheet iron and TNT obtained from government's dud bombs. These hand grenades - thousands were fabricated at the guerrillas' four main bomb shops during the civil war - had to be lit to be detonated: the granadero lit a cigar going into combat and touched the glowing end of it to the fuse of one of these handmade grenades whenever he wanted to toss one at the enemy. Frames 10-20 show Crespo and the master bomb maker El Gallego Maestro manufacturing bombs.
