	Well, first off, the only problems I have with your plan so far is that
5-10 lb of explosives, in middle ages, isn't really going to do much.
If you're using black powder, it might be as big as a standard fireball
(I'm unsure on this one).  If you're going to just dump barrels of greek
oil or smoke powder with flaming wicks on some hapless city, you can do
this pretty easily by just pushing off the side of a hammership or
something.  In fact, I really don't see the advantage of a special
bomber sj over a regular one, but feel free to try to expand this out.
I'd like to see where you want to go with this.
