Hi Lionel.
A good book to read on bomb disposal is "Designed to Kill" by Major Arthur Hogben, ex-Royal Engineers and it covers from WW1 to the Falklands. It was published in 1987, ISBN 0-85059-865-6. Very detailed and good number of photos in it.
My interest in this subject came from the occasional repair work on the trepanning machines used by the Royal Engineers for cutting out the fuses. These particular machines were hydraulic and operated remotely. We had some old bomb casings to use for testing.
