There were different bombs for different things. The standard bomb had an outer casing made of steel, filled with an explosive similar to TNT. However, there were incendiary bombs, with an outer skin of thin sheet metal, and filled with a hot burning chemical mix intended to start fires. Other bombs were made to penetrate heavy concrete fortifications, a round bomb made to skip across water and destroy dams, and the atomic bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
