Miners showcase a bomb they claim was dropped on them from one of Chafin's planes. The fighting on Blair Mountain became so intense and entrenched that Chafin, the leader of the anti-union defense forces, saw fit to drop bombs on miners from planes. This image demonstrates to intensity of the fight and how serious it became.
