aitch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'kind of bomb' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'letter people drop' is the second definition.
'aitch' can be an answer for 'letter' (aitch is the name for the letter H). I am unsure of the 'people drop' bit.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aitch that I've seen before include "Aspirated letter" , "8th letter of the alphabet" , "It's dropped by Cockneys" , "that I will immediately succeed" , "The letter h in full" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
