Before the very scientifically complex atomic bomb, other bombs are just basically tons of explosive stuff jammed into a bombshell, so it wasn't too advanced there.

How were bombers used in World War 1?
Early airplanes were used for reconnasance and photographing the enemy and spotting for artillery. Then the back seater began to carry small bombs that he dropped over the side. Later, bomb racks were mounted under the larger aircraft to carry bombs. They bombed infantry positions, or buildings of military significance. The first airplane to down a Zeppelin did it by dropping a bomb from above it.
Do nuclear engineers make bombs?
It can and it is Although U-238 is not very radioactive -- it's sometimes called depleted Uranium -- it is used as a "tamper" in the core of nuclear warhead. Its use as a tamper greatly increases the yield energy of the device. Wikipedia has a pretty good article to check out. Uranium 238 is not fissionable with thermal neutrons; uranium 238 cannot be used in bombs as fissionable, explosive material.However as the final stage tamper of a hydrogen bomb the high energy fusion neutrons will fission Uranium-238, possibly generating 90% of the yield and a corresponding amount of the fallout of such bombs.

Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
