The United States developed the T-12 Cloudmaker (also known as the Earthquake bomb) shortly after WW2. It weighed in at a staggering 43,600lb (22 Tons) and was intended to be used against hardened facilities and bunker busting. However, only one aircraft could carry the bomb at that time (B36 Peacemaker). Also, with the end of the war and the advent of nuclear weapons, it never found any use beyond testing. It still remains in US inventory and is by far the heaviest bomb ever built.
