These ships could carry 2,000 kg of bombs in total.

German zeppelins
During the First World War, Zeppelins were prized for their ability to fly high up in the air, for their long range and for their ability to carry heavy loads.
The planes carried bombs that exploded when the pilot crashed into targets.
The Spitfire did not carry bombs, only guns
The B-26 could carry a total of 6,000 pounds of assorted bombs. Bombs then in service with it weighed from 50 to 250 pounds. According to my father, who worked on them, they seldom carried more than 3.500 pounds as the ammunition load was very heavy in this aircraft.
Yes, there were a number of Zepplin bombing raids on England during the war.
